About Dropwizard

Dropwizard is a Java framework for developing ops-friendly, high-performance, RESTful web services. Dropwizard pulls together stable, mature libraries from the Java ecosystem into a simple, lightweight package that lets you focus on getting things done. Dropwizard has out-of-the-box support for sophisticated configuration, application metrics, logging, operational tools, and much more, allowing you and your team to ship a production-quality web service in the shortest time possible. Dropwizard straddles the line between being a library and a framework. Its goal is to provide performant, reliable implementations of everything a production-ready web application needs. Because this functionality is extracted into a reusable library, your application remains lean and focused, reducing both time-to-market and maintenance burdens. Because you can’t be a web application without HTTP, Dropwizard uses the Jetty HTTP library to embed an incredibly tuned HTTP server directly into your project.

Vert.x
Vert.x
Han­dle more re­quests with fewer re­sources com­pared to tra­di­tional stacks and frame­works based on block­ing I/O. Vert.x is a great fit for all kinds of ex­e­cu­tion en­vi­ron­ments, in­clud­ing con­strained en­vi­ron­ments like vir­tual ma­chines and con­tain­ers. Peo­ple told you asyn­chro­nous pro­gram­ming is too hard for you? We strive to make pro­gram­ming with Vert.x an ap­proach­able ex­pe­ri­ence, with­out sac­ri­fy­ing cor­rect­ness and per­for­mance. Don’t waste re­sources, in­crease de­ploy­ment den­sity and save money. You pick the model that works best for the task at hand, call­backs, promises, fu­tures, re­ac­tive ex­ten­sions, and (Kotlin) corou­tines. Vert.x is a toolkit, not a frame­work, so it is nat­u­rally very com­pos­able and em­bed­d­a­ble. We have no strong opin­ion on what your ap­pli­ca­tion struc­ture should be like. Se­lect the mod­ules and clients you need and com­pose them as you craft your ap­pli­ca­tion.

Grails
Grails
A powerful Groovy-based web application framework for the JVM built on top of Spring Boot. Convention-over-configuration, sensible defaults, opinionated APIs, and the Groovy language combine to make the Grails® framework easy to learn for Java developers. The Grails framework is built on top of Spring Boot and leverages Spring Boot's time-saving features, such as Spring-powered dependency injection. The Grails framework seamlessly and transparently integrates and interoperates with Java, the JVM, and existing Java EE containers. Apache Groovy is a language for the Java platform designed to enhance developers' productivity. It is an optionally-typed and dynamic language but with static-typing and static compilation capabilities. The Grails framework seamlessly integrates with GORM, a data access toolkit that provides a rich set of APIs for accessing relational and non-relational data. GORM also includes implementations for Hibernate (SQL), MongoDB, Cassandra, and Neo4j.

Javalin
Javalin
(1 Rating)
You never extend classes and you rarely implement interfaces. Javalin is just a few thousand lines of code on top of Jetty, and its performance is equivalent to raw Jetty code. Due to its size, it's very easy to reason about the source code. Other Java and Kotlin web frameworks usually offer one version for each language. Javalin is being made with inter-operability in mind, apps are built the same way in both Java and Kotlin. Javalin runs on top of Jetty, one of the most used and stable web servers on the JVM. You can configure the Jetty server fully, including SSL and HTTP3 and everything else that Jetty offers. Many lightweight Java and Kotlin web frameworks don't support OpenAPI, but Javalin does.
