Frameworks on genhttp-kt

Webservices

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

genhttp-modules-webservices Package on Maven Central

The webservice module provides an easy way to implement RESTful services that can be consumed by clients as needed.

Functional Handlers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

genhttp-modules-functional Package on Maven Central

With this module, requests can be handled in a functional manner, reducing the boilerplate code to be written by a web application developer.

Controllers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

genhttp-modules-controllers Package on Maven Central

This framework allows to create APIs by defining and implementing controller classes. In contrast to Spring MVC, you cannot use this framework to dynamically render HTML pages in an MVC style project, so this is just another flavor of defining a web API.

Websockets

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

genhttp-modules-websockets Package on Maven Central

Websockets allow to create a bidirectional connection between your clients and your server, allowing both sides to push content without the need of sending HTTP requests.

Single Page Applications (SPA)

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

genhttp-modules-single-page-applications Package on Maven Central

This handler provides an easy way to serve a single page application (for example a Vue.js, React, or Angular app) to your clients.

Static Websites

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

genhttp-modules-static-websites Package on Maven Central

This handler provides an easy way to serve a static website such as a Hugo application to your clients.

Custom Frameworks

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

genhttp-modules-reflection Package on Maven Central

The framework layer of genhttp-kt allows application frameworks (such as webservices or controllers) to host a set of operations (put simply a route with a piece of Kotlin code to be executed). This way the application framework itself is only a very thin layer - it analyzes the given scope (such as a controller class) and derives operations from it which are then handled by the generic framework part. This way, all application frameworks share the same feature level and can support things like parameter binding, serialization, suspend functions or execution modes. To give an example, the handler which provides the whole webservice framework consists of about 60 lines of code only - everything else is done by the underlying framework layer.
