mangoo I/O

mangoo I/O is an Intuitive, Lightweight, High Performance Full Stack Java Web Framework.

Development of mangoo I/O was started in mid 2015 out of the interest on how difficult it would be to create an intuitiv, developer friendly, full stack java web framework from scratch. After the fresh new breeze of java development for the Web with the Play Framwork - Version 1, contributions to the Ninja Framework and having seen a lot of cumbersome "Enterprise" Applications, I thought it was time for yet another full stack java framework.

The foundation of mangoo I/O is the very performant Undertow web server from JBoss. On top of that, standard, production ready java libraries are used - no reinventing of the wheel, no bytecode manipulation, no magic whatsoever. The main reason for using Undertow was, that it is based on non-blocking I/O in the form of XNIO. And although Undertow does support the servlet API, one is not bound to use it in any way. Giving a java developer the opportunity to work fully stateless.

mangoo I/O is highly inspired by the Ninja Web Framework. Although the mangoo I/O core is a complete custom implementation, many of the ideas and methodologies were re-used.

Here are some key features of mangoo I/O in a nutshell:

Intuitiv convention-over-configuration, making a java developer feel at home from the start
Highly scalable using a share-nothing stateless architecture
Hot-Compiling development mode for high productivity
Easy to use template engine
Support for Web Sockets
Simple and self-explaining form handling and validation
Plain scheduling for recurring tasks
Easy handling of JSON in- and output
Built-in asset minification in development mode
Flexible testing tools
Simple Deployment and CI-Integration
i18N Internationalization
Easy eMail handling

One main focus of mangoo I/O was to have a good and well documented code base. Therefore, mangoo I/O is constantly checked against SonarQube with a rule set of more than 600 checks. Additionally each build is checked against Loader.io to ensure, that code changes don't decrease the framework performance.

Here are some used libraries and their purpose in mangoo I/O.
