Milkman is heavily inspired by Postman. But I got sick of all those electron-based applications that need ages and loads of memory to start up. Therefore, this is a JavaFx-based workbench for crafting requests/responses. It is not limited to e.g. HTTP (or more specifically rest) requests. Due to nearly everything being a plugin, other things are possible, like database requests or GRPC, GraphQl, etc. Request-types (e.g. Http Request), request-aspects (e.g. Headers, Body, etc), editors for request aspects (e.g. table-based editors for headers), importers, whatever it is, you can extend it. The core application only handles Workspaces with Environments, Collections, Requests, and their aspects. Several plugins are provided already that extend the core application to be a replacement for postman. Crafting and Executing Http/Rest requests with json highlighting. Support Proxy-server configuration and SSE.

Feign is a Java to HTTP client binder that was built primarily to make writing Java http clients easier. Inspired by previous projects Retrofit, JAXRS-2.0 and WebSocket, Feign was designed to reduce the complexity that is often involved in binding the Denominator uniformly to HTTP APIs, no matter the ReSTfulness. Feign works by processing annotations into a templatized request, to which arguments are applied in a straightforward manner before output. While it may only support text-based APIs, it simplifies system aspects dramatically and makes it much easier to unit test your conversions. Feign makes use of great tools like Jersey and CXF for writing Java clients for ReST or SOAP services. It also lets you write your own code on top of http libraries, and connects your code to http APIs with little overhead.

NIO HTTP/1.1 Web Server with support for multi-part forms, custom servlets, cookies, sessions, SSL, gzip and deflate encodings, pipelining, and more! Written in 100% Java with core server reliance only on the base jdk library.

NanoHTTPD is a light-weight HTTP server designed for embedding in other applications, released under a Modified BSD licence. It is being developed at Github and uses Apache Maven for builds & unit testing. Nanolets are like servlets only that they have a extremely low profile. They offer an easy to use system for a more complex server application. We are currently in the process of stabilizing NanoHTTPD from the many pull requests and feature requests that were integrated over the last few months. The next release will come soon, and there will not be any more "intended" major changes before the next release. If you want to use the bleeding edge version, you can clone it from Github, or get it from sonatype.org (see "Maven dependencies / Living on the edge" below). Fully functional HTTP(s) server consisting of one (1) Java file, ready to be customized/inherited for your own project. Simple examples on how to customize NanoHTTPD.

Fast, lightweight Web framework based on Netty; without too much dependency, and the core jar package is only 30KB. Configuration files can also be read in multiple environments, just add VM parameters, also ensure that the parameter name and file name are consistent.

Proxyee is a JAVA-written HTTP proxy server library that supports HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket protocols, and supports MITM (Man-in-the-middle), which can capture and tamper with HTTP, and HTTPS packets. The CA certificate (src/resources/ca.crt) from the project needs to be imported to a trusted root certificate authority. The CA certificate (src/resources/ca.crt) from the project needs to be imported to a trusted root certificate authority. You can use the CertDownIntercept interceptor to enable the web certificate download feature.

The goal of Simple is to bring the power of simplicity to the world of server side Java. The primary focus of the project is to provide a truly embeddable Java based HTTP engine capable of handling enormous loads. Simple provides a truly asynchronous service model, request completion is driven using an internal, transparent, monitoring system.

LocalServer is a Web Server software for Windows that allows you to make your Computer into a Web Server Locally in which there is the Apache Server, PHP, and MySQL Server, which has been summarized in a single container setup.exe. The advantages of this software is Free except you do not need to advance other similar software, which is installed by default on your computer, because the Apache Server and MySQL Server will be installed on LocalServer first time on a different port, the Apache server running on port 4008 and MySQL Server running on port 3308. The latest version has been on the Release of version 1.0.1 that is made on the date of 26-10-2012, which has been running stable on Windows devices with the addition of the mail server that Mercury mail. Hopefully LocalServer useful for you to use, and congratulations creative with LocalServer Thank you!

TinyREST allows a Java programmer to easily create a REST server without having to install a J2EE server. Creating a new server is as easy as copying the service jar, setting up a configuration file and writing your own service handler class. The resulting project can be made to start up as a service. Annotations can now be used to write handler class and methods. JDBC database access as well as file system access is allowed from the service.
