    jsoncat

    jsoncat

    Lightweight HTTP framework built in Java

    jsoncat is a lightweight HTTP framework built in Java (using Netty) that aims to replicate some of the feel of Spring Boot—but in a minimal, educational style focused on clarity rather than full enterprise complexity. The project is organized as a small library and tutorial-style codebase, where core HTTP handling, routing, and JSON processing are exposed in a compact way so learners can trace how HTTP requests are parsed and dispatched. Because it avoids heavy abstractions and auto-magical configuration, it’s suited to developers who want to understand what happens beneath frameworks rather than just use them. The code has detailed comments (recently translated or annotated for Chinese readers), making it a practical study project for learning network programming, middleware design, and handler chains. Projects like this are especially useful for backend engineers or Java learners who want to demystify how web servers and routing frameworks work at a low level.

    libsu

    libsu

    A complete solution for apps using root permissions

    libsu is a modern Android library that provides a safe, convenient API for executing commands with root privileges and interacting with the Android shell. Instead of ad-hoc Runtime.exec calls, it offers structured sessions, proper I/O streams, and lifecycle handling that works reliably across devices. The library focuses on developer ergonomics: thread-safe helpers, Kotlin-friendly APIs, and utilities for file operations, process management, and parcelable data transfer. It’s designed to interoperate smoothly with Magisk-based root environments while degrading gracefully on non-rooted devices when possible. Attention is given to security and correctness—avoiding resource leaks, handling timeouts, and containing elevated operations to explicit scopes. For apps that legitimately need privileged automation or maintenance tasks, libsu becomes the backbone that keeps the “root” parts predictable and testable.

    libwlocate is a shared library that can be used for location-based services. It checks for WLAN-networks that are available near to a user and retrieves the current geographic position out of them. Thus no GPS is needed for positioning. This WLAN-based geolocation happens without using any of the commercial services that do the same but track the users position and data. libwlocate instead bases on the free OpenWLANMap project.

    lixa

    lixa

    LIXA, LIbre XA, is a free and open source XA transaction manager

    LIXA (LIbre XA) is an open source and free Transaction Manager implementing the distributed transaction processing "XA specification" and "TX (transaction demarcation) specification" according to the X/Open CAE Specification. LIXA implements even XTA: XA Transaction API, an innovative API that implements XA transactional context passing among different applications. LIXA is a Transaction Manager but it's not a Transaction Monitor: this is the distinguishing feature of the project. LIXA technology enables every application container, like a web server or a shell, to become a two phase commit application server. The client/server architecture of LIXA allows many application containers to share a single LIXA (state) server: this is ideal when horizontal scalability is a must and many identical application containers must refer to a single transactional environment. LIXA can be used with the C, C++, Java, Python and COBOL programming languages.

    lwjgl-basics

    lwjgl-basics

    LibGDX/LWJGL tutorials and examples

    lwjgl-basics is a lightweight, shader-driven Java library designed to teach and simplify 2D game development using LWJGL and OpenGL, focusing on minimal abstractions and direct control over rendering pipelines. It provides essential utilities for handling textures, shaders, and sprite rendering while maintaining a low-level approach that exposes developers to the underlying graphics concepts. The repository doubles as both a functional library and an educational resource, offering example code and tutorials that demonstrate how modern graphics programming works in practice. Its design philosophy prioritizes simplicity and clarity over feature completeness, making it ideal for learning or prototyping rather than large-scale production systems. The inclusion of test cases and sample scenes allows developers to quickly experiment with rendering techniques and understand how components interact.

    mall-swarm

    mall-swarm

    Microservices edition of the mall e-commerce system

    mall-swarm is the microservices edition of the mall e-commerce system, designed to illustrate how an enterprise-scale e-commerce backend can be built using Spring Cloud Alibaba, Spring Boot 3.x, Sa-Token (authentication), MyBatis, Elasticsearch, Docker and Kubernetes. It includes modules for gateway, auth, search, portal, admin, monitoring, config, registry, and more, and integrates a Vue-based management frontend. The repository is structured to show how cross-service concerns like service registry, configuration center, monitoring, distributed transactions, API gateway and messaging are done in microservice architecture. It is used as a teaching platform to help engineers migrate from monolith to microservices, grasp the patterns, pitfalls and infrastructure considerations (e.g., Nacos, Seata). The documentation includes diagrams of system architecture, business architecture, service organization, and shows how to set up on Kubernetes.
