Spincast is an highly flexible and open source Java web framework, based on Guice.
We live in a crazy world where the New Best Thing™ is always changing. Javascript, that sucky language, is everywhere. Everybody thinks they are Netflix and that they need reactive not blocking serverless functional GraphQL web scaled microservices on Kubernetes.
In reality, what most of us need are tools made for the real world. Tools that don't try to look cool, but that work well and provide control and flexibility. Spincast aims to be that production ready Java framework that won't get you nerd points during a discussion, but that actually gets the job done very well.
Do you share our philosophy?
Look at the plugins as they show our main concerns.
Experiment, make your own mind.
public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { Spincast.init(args); } @Inject protected void init(DefaultRouter router, Server server) { router.GET("/").handle(context -> context.response().sendHtml("<h1>Hello World!</h1>")); server.start(); } }
public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { Spincast.configure() .module(new AppGuiceModule()) .plugin(new SpincastHttpClientPlugin()) .plugin(new SpincastJdbcPlugin()) .plugin(new SpincastFormsProtectionPlugin()) .plugin(new SpincastScheduledTasksPlugin()) .plugin(new SpincastSessionPlugin()) .requestContextImplementationClass(AppRequestContextDefault.class) .init(args); } @Inject protected void init(AppRouter router, AppServer server) { router.methods(HttpMethod.POST, HttpMethod.PUT) .path("/users/${userId:<N>}") .accept(ContentTypeDefaults.JSON) .handle(context -> { context.response().setCacheSeconds(3600); context.response().setCookie1year("myCookie", context.customMethodYouDefined()); context.response().setHeader("x-powered-by", "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--"); JsonObject userObj = context.json().create(); userObj.set("user.id", context.request().getPathParam("userId")); userObj.set("user.timeZone", context.getTimeZoneToUse()); userObj.set("user.locale", context.getLocaleToUse()); System.out.println(userObj.toJsonString(true)); // { // "user" : { // "id" : "42", // "timeZone" : "America/New_York", // "locale" : "en_US" // } // } context.response().sendXml(userObj); }); server.start(); } }
Spincast is a java web framework to serve as a backend for Single Page Applications (SPA
),
to develop HTML
generated websites or
to be a REST API
services platform.
Spincast is based on Guice from the ground up. It is very flexible: each part can be tweaked/overridden, even the core classes. There are no static methods and no private methods.
Spincast aims to feel more like a library than like a framework. It is not opinionated and favors configuration over convention. Its main goal is to give power to the developers.
Spincast is composed of a small core and a big plugins ecosystem. You choose what your application needs.
The embedded server
makes everything easy to develop, test and deploy... When
deployed, the application is fully contained,
in a single executable .jar
file.
Spincast's powerful router is injectable
and dynamic. That means you can add and remove
routes
from anywhere in your application, at any time.
