Can spring MVC run without an application server?

I was taking a look to Spark Framework and I noted that it does not need an application server to run. Can I configure Spring MVC to run like spark? I am going to implement a restfull service and I am not going to use JSP.

From https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html :

The Spring Web model-view-controller (MVC) framework is designed around a DispatcherServlet

Spring MVC is based on the Java Servlet specification, you can't run it without using a Servlet container, however you can easily embed one, especially if you use Spring Boot. More details here: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-embedded-servlet-containers.html
