Spark Framework Reviews and details

• Indexing All of Wikipedia on a Laptop

  The code for serving queries is found in the WebSearch class. We’re using Spark (the web framework, not the big data engine) to serve a simple search form:. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• [ Servlet + JSP + JDBC ]

  Get a solid grasp of building web applications with Java either using Spring (using Spring Boot) or Spark (if you're also new to Java learning Java and Spring can be a mouthful). Instead of JSP use something Thymeleaf or build the frontend with HTML and JavaScript (and serve the bundles). Source: over 1 year ago

• What's the language of the startup?

  So most of the "tech" stack goes out. In our first startup we created our own web-container by using https://sparkjava.com - and then built a JSR-223 scripting support. Source: over 1 year ago

• What side-projects did you work on during your university years?

  Stack: Java, Spark (not the Apache Spark but this), Kafka, several other libraries like FasterXML's Jackson. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Full Time

  The blog is just hugo so it's 100% static files over nginx. The search engine is serverside-rendered mustache templates via handlebars[1], via served via spark[2]. It's basically all vanilla Java. I do raw SQL queries instead of ORM, which makes it quite a bit snappier than most Java applications. The sheer size of the database also mandates that basically every query is a primary key lookup. The code is written... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: Java REST without annotations, DI nor reactive streams

  Much better! By the way, how does it compare to Spark? https://sparkjava.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Marginalia: Search the Internet

  It's a Debian server running nginx into a bunch of custom java services that use the spark microframework[1]. I use a MariaDB server for link data, and I've built a bespoke index in Java. [1] https://sparkjava.com/ I don't use springboot or anything like that, besides Spark I'm not using frameworks. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Which backend Frameworks for Web App is easy to learn?

  If you want just some small web app or something standalone without having to hassle around proper web server, etc., you can have a look at Spark Java: https://sparkjava.com/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Rife Is a Framework Experiment

  There are a huge set of web frameworks in Java that have the same example as shown on this site; I have no idea how this differs from, say, https://ratpack.io or https://sparkjava.com. This really needs some key features on the site to sell it. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Why I selected Elixir and Phoenix as my main stack

  In university I learned a bit of Java, so maybe I could use it professionally I guess?. There were many options to choose from. DropWizard, Spark, Play Framework. But the more documented one in the internet I found was Springboot, besides there were some courses in spanish and some friends that knew something about Springboot, so I give it a chance. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• My attempt to understand why people perceive Java as complex

  Annotation style programming (Spring Boot, Quarkus, Micronaut, etc.) are not the only way to write web services in Java if they're not your thing (though they do make things a lot more convenient). Spark and Helidon SE offer a more imperative style of programming for example. Source: over 2 years ago

• Why Picnic Picked Java

  XML is pretty rare in Java code written this side of 2010. Not that it doesn't exist, but the whole spring mess is not something you really have to touch to set something up in Java. I usually enjoy Spark[1] for bootstrapping a simple REST-like interface. There are other options, but in general, you don't really need glue-languages at all if you stray away from old-fashioned EE-style frameworks. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Java's Cultural Problem

  I can't stand any magic, it always inevitably feels like a massive liability to me and always bites me in the ass sooner or later. I use http://sparkjava.com in my projects. It's as tiny as web frameworks get, it only handles routing and request/response, and you get to do everything else manually. Only thing I had to hack into it was response streaming. The one most internally convoluted and enterprise-y... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Beating the Averages (2001)

  When I first heard of the term "web application", I started trying to download/install and play with GlassFish and Tomcat and JBoss, etc. When one seemed too complicated I'd jump to the next. There were jars and wars and admin panels and endless configuration. Total mind-fuck. I never got the hang of them. The next time I visited web apps, Jetty was around and seemed way smoother in comparison. Microsoft's IIS... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Build a rest service from the command line, as simple as “every request has a response.”

  I'll use the  Spark library to getting a “pong” to every “ping” request. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Integration Testing Done Right

  Writing integration tests is not always straightforward. By definition, integration tests require interaction between several components, and we need to deal with them in many different ways. Let’s look at some tools that will make writing and reading tests easier. I believe that Testcontainers and the Spark Framework will allow you to write shorter and more descriptive tests. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Fully Static Java Webserver - Is this a bad idea?

  We use the Spark Java framework for REST API endpoints. In our main method we import the library as static and create endpoints as shown in their getting started guide and declare static handlers for GETs and POSTs, etc inside main. This seems fine to me so far (please let me know if you know of any issues with this). Source: over 3 years ago
