Top 4 Popular Java Development Frameworks

[1] Play
It’s a powerful and lightweight open source web development framework, loved by thousands of developers all over the world for its scalability, speed and performance. It uses the Java and Scala programming languages and if you have knowledge in Scala, it should not take more than an hour to get used to with this framework. The user interface of Play is simple and intuitive, thus it does not take time to understand the basic features. One of the key features of Play is that you don’t need to compile your codes, just deploy and restart. While developing an app, you can easily see the new changes by simply hitting the refresh button. This feature saves a lot of time during web development. It has just one config file and rest of the configuration is done automatically. Play also comes with testing tools that let developers test their application within the framework.

However, Play is not flawless. It has some weaknesses and one of them is version incompatibility. For example, Play 1 is not compatible with Play 2. Besides, if you know Scala, only then it’s useful for you. Otherwise, you have to learn Scala and it’s a difficult language to learn.

[2] Grails

One of the strong positive qualities of Grails is the Enterprise Java Beans or EJB support. EJB helps developers start their work immediately. They don’t need to configure the XML. This framework offers speedy development features and lets you create highly robust and scalable applications. There are plenty of ready-made modules available in Grails and you can use them for your work. It offers unit testing feature and based on your requirements, you can integrate other testing frameworks as well.

[3] Spring Framework
It’s one of the most popular frameworks that help you create high performing and testable applications. It takes care of petty usability features so that you don’t have to code everything and can focus on the main features of your project. One of the unique advantages of Spring is that it lets you connect various components and as a result, you can create a solution for intricate problems. Some of the other features it offers are cloud support, support to traditional database rdbms as well as new nosql, better security and compatibility to mobile.

[4] Struts 2
