Javalin mentions (33)

• Spark – A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin

  I'd recommend Javalin (https://javalin.io/) instead. Same idea, only executed better and it is actively maintained. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Spark – A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin

  SparkJava has an actively developed fork/successor called Javalin[1]. It's straightforward to convert from SparkJava to Javalin. The latter is written in Kotlin, but works fine with ordinary Java. While the rest of the Java world was devolving into annotation hell, AOP and other nightmares, these Java microframeworks showcased what happens when you forego legacy Java and leverage modern Java language features... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Show HN: Zero-dependency Java framework out of beta

  The size statistics page is super cool: https://github.com/byronka/minum/blob/master/docs/size_comparisons.md Aside from that, I've also had good experiences with Dropwizard - which is way simpler than Spring Boot but at the same time uses a bunch of idiomatic packages (like Jetty, Jersey, Jackson, Logback and so on): https://www.dropwizard.io/en/stable/ I do wonder whether Minum would ever end up on the... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Java 21 Released

  One of the most common web frameworks used is Spring Boot - here is their quickstart: https://spring.io/quickstart Newer alternatives are: https://micronaut.io/ and https://quarkus.io/ If you want to have something really simple look at Javalin: https://javalin.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Helidon Níma is the first Java microservices framework based on virtual threads

  Counter-example: https://javalin.io/ uses Servlets, and seems to be doing quite fine without annotations. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Spark Framework mentions (28)

• [ Servlet + JSP + JDBC ]

  Get a solid grasp of building web applications with Java either using Spring (using Spring Boot) or Spark (if you're also new to Java learning Java and Spring can be a mouthful). Instead of JSP use something Thymeleaf or build the frontend with HTML and JavaScript (and serve the bundles). Source: 5 months ago

• What's the language of the startup?

  So most of the "tech" stack goes out. In our first startup we created our own web-container by using https://sparkjava.com - and then built a JSR-223 scripting support. Source: 5 months ago

• What side-projects did you work on during your university years?

  Stack: Java, Spark (not the Apache Spark but this), Kafka, several other libraries like FasterXML's Jackson. Source: 10 months ago

• Full Time

  The blog is just hugo so it's 100% static files over nginx. The search engine is serverside-rendered mustache templates via handlebars[1], via served via spark[2]. It's basically all vanilla Java. I do raw SQL queries instead of ORM, which makes it quite a bit snappier than most Java applications. The sheer size of the database also mandates that basically every query is a primary key lookup. The code is written... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Show HN: Java REST without annotations, DI nor reactive streams

  Much better! By the way, how does it compare to Spark? https://sparkjava.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
