What are the trending Java tools or frameworks to use for the upcoming products?

What do you mean by Java frameworks?

Java frameworks are the predefined set of code structures. With Java frameworks, you would be able to create your own code and make use of the existing codes.

Some frameworks would offer you everything in a ready-made manner. All you need to do is to add your own code to build a customizable product.

There are over 134 Java frameworks. Among them, 5 of them stands apart. What are the reasons? Let’s take you to a stroll in the gardens of top 5 Java frameworks.

Top 5 Java frameworks:

Spring

Hibernate

Struts

Google web toolkit

JavaServer Faces

Grails

Spring:

Pattem Digital — Spring

This powerful, simple-to-use, lightweight framework is used to maintain all layer implementations meant for a real-time application. With Spring, you can develop all the layers in a short span of time.

There are other Spring modules including Spring MVC, Spring Security, Spring Core and Spring ORM. They are all used for Enterprise related applications.

Popular companies like Netflix and Amazon use this platform.

Hibernate:

Hibernate ORM can be seen as a stable, object-oriented mapping framework. This platform helps you to have proper communication between the relational database management systems and the Java programming language.

It is common for you to encounter Object-Relational Impedance Mismatch when you are working with Java, which is an object-oriented language. Since RDBMSs and OO languages handle your data in a different manner, you can face more mismatch problems. Hence Hibernate offers you with the right framework to overcome every mismatch problems that Java faces.

Companies like IBM and Oracle are into Hibernate.

Some of the advantages of using this platform include:

  • More portability, maintainability and productivity
  • Free, open-source framework
  • Repetitive code is chunked out using JDBC API

Struts

This enterprise-level framework is maintained meticulously by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). This Java web application framework is fully designed and developed. As of now, there are 2 different versions- Struts 1 and Struts 2. Struts 2 makes use of Struts 1 and OpenSymphony. Nowadays, every company are into Struts 2.

We use Struts to build MVC-related web apps

It leverages and extends your Java Servlet API to let developers use MVC architecture.

Advantages:

  • Easier integration
  • Reduced development time
  • Helps you with a centralized configuration in the form of property files or XML

Google Web Toolkit

Google Web Toolkit

This completely free, open-source framework could be used by developers to write different client-side Java code. You can, in turn, establish it in the form of JavaScript. Many Google products are written using Google Web Toolkit. Some of them are AdSense, Blogger and Google Wallet.

With GWT, you would be able to code more complex browser applications in a faster manner. You can also develop and debug different Ajax applications. With GWT, you can easily write complex browser-based apps without requiring any expertise in front-end technologies such as responsive design or JavaScript optimization.

What are its advantages?

It is very much developer-friendly

It makes use of Google APIs

You can create and maintain different complex JavaScript front-end apps

JSF

This is the most important part of Java EE, providing you with vast libraries and excellent tools and support. It supports extending backend Java code using a web interface. You don’t need to use a base application to introduce a new framework here.

Grails

Grails

This dynamic framework is an object-oriented programming language meant for the Java platform. Using this, you can enhance the productivity of your developer. The compatible syntax with Java has compiled to Java Virtual Machine(JVM) bytecode. Grail is also compatible with SiteMesh, Hibernate, Quartz and Spring.
