I made this repository because I wanted a backend that is not made in a full-stack development platform Rails, Django, or PHP. So I found an alternative using JAVA using a framework called Jersey.
Run the following commands, you are welcome to add your own shell script that can execute it in one command. These instructions are based on Jersey's Getting Started Guide.
git clone git@github.com:niculistana/simple_jersey_api.git
cd simple_jersey_api
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=jersey-quickstart-grizzly2 \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes -DinteractiveMode=false \
-DgroupId=com.example -DartifactId=simple-service -Dpackage=com.example \
-DarchetypeVersion=2.24.1
mvn clean test
mvn exec:java
Then navigate to http://localhost:8080/myapp/myresource to view your app running.
This repository is meant to provide the following:
- JSON payloads using endpoints using
org.json. [Documentation] - Ease of endpoint resource development using Jersey.
- Endpoint testing using assertions.
- More importantly, Encourage people to separate front-end from their backend since JSON, microservices, and APIs, are becoming more and more apparent in the industry.
I still am learning how to develop quick backends in JAVA, so the development of this repo could be opinionated. But the main goal here is to provide a fast way to scaffold a backend in JAVA without too many dependencies. Please check out Purpose above to review the repository's goals.
I currently work full-time and could continue support on the development of this repository as I see fit. For now, there wouldn't be much developments that are going on since the repository already serves the purpose. I could make a fork of it to give it various flavors. Feel free to fork your own as well, and I'd add a link to it in this repository so that others could see it. I may also add a Spring alternative to those who are comfortable with Spring once I get a chance to learn it.
