Lightweight Java microservice frameworks/libraries

This is primarily a personal todo list of Java-based microservice frameworks to investigate. If I’ve already looked at any of these then I most likely have a separate post about them elsewhere.

As I investigate each of these, you may find implementation examples as part of this Git repo here (https://github.com/kevinhooke/JavaRESTFrameworkComparison) – check the readme in the repo for those which I’ve built examples already.

Libraries and Frameworks:

• Spring Boot
• WildFly Swarm
• Dropwizard
• Spark
• RestExpress
