Jooby VS ktor

One of the good things about it is that using asynchrony is optional. If you don't have to call out anywhere to build the response, processing can all stay in the handler's calling thread. If you do, you can return a future and have the library handle the async for you.

One downside is that it is based on Jetty which isn't considered the most performant backend. A lib with a similar API but based on Netty is Jooby [1] which scores well in the Techempower benchmarks.

Jooby and Helidon SE are among the best.

The code snippet gave me a vibe like it was jooby Looks cool, I suggest maybe start incorporating Project Loom virtual threads in the future.

Speaking of backend development, recently I gave Jooby[1] a try after discovering it was one of the world's top performer in Tech Empower's web framework benchmark[2].

Surprisingly enough, it's terribly easy to put together a REST API with Jooby. I wonder why it's adoption rate is so low.

Do you need to use Spring btw? If you want to broaden the tool selection I've had great success with i.e Jooby (https://jooby.io/) together with Kotlin coroutines. Another alternative is the KTOR framework.

Jooby I think is the best bet. https://jooby.io/ watch out for jooby dot org I think someone sniped the domain.

Spring Boot or JAXRS. I personally use Jooby a lot which is similar in style to spark but has annotation support and isn't a singleton.

Ktor, a powerful web framework built with Kotlin, offers a lightweight and flexible solution for building web applications. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a Ktor project manually using Gradle and SDKMAN!. By following the steps below, you'll have a basic Ktor project up and running in no time.

take a look at http4k and ktor for Kotlin specific frameworks Spring has first class support for Kotlin e.g. the following will give you reactive HTTP endpoints when using spring-webflux (this is what is use at work):

Ktor (Microservices framework by JetBrains)

For Android you should use a more mobile friendly framework like Retrofit or if you use Kotlin you can use the multi-platform Ktor library with it's client module

And last but not least, Ktor Client as our HTTP client. https://ktor.io/ It's a pretty amazing http client library and integrates well with Kotlinx serialization and Coroutines.

Kotlin is going to be great with almost every single JVM server. Spring works well with Kotlin, and is directly supported, but spring is also massive, very bloated. I recommend looking at https://github.com/ktorio/ktor which continues to serve all of my needs very well, integrates fantastically with Kotlin coroutines, and has very fast startup time and very good performance.

For the sake of the test, we use Ktor - the easiest way to do so is to use initializer.

I know you are looking for Spring Boot and/or Quarkus, but have you tried ktor. Just curios if you had a particular reason for choosing the other 2. Disclaimer: I haven't used ktor.

Check https://ktor.io it's from JetBrains and amazing.
