List of Spring Boot provided beans?

Is there a list of beans provided by Spring Boot and its different modules? For example, I only recently discovered that Spring Boot already provides a configurable Jackson ObjectMapper bean. I would have never known that if not for reading up on an unrelated issue I was dealing with. Now I'm working with Spring JMS and am afraid that I am reinventing the wheel because Spring Boot may already have what I need and I just don't know about it. How are these beans discovered? They don't seem to be cataloged in any Spring documentation.

I would recommend starting with the reference documentation. While it doesn't list every bean that may be auto-configured, it does have documentation describing each feature area that may be auto-configured. For example, there are sections on Jackson's ObjectMapper and on JMS.

Each starter that Spring Boot offers is also a good indication of what it can auto-configure. Each first-party starter is listed in the documentation.
