amaya-sun

Amaya is a fairly lightweight web framework for Java, which guarantees speed, ease of creating plugins/addons, flexibility and ease of use.

The main goals pursued during the creation were the avoidance of redundant abstractions, modularity, simplification of the creation of REST services and sufficient freedom for user configuration and modification. The server part is built on the basis of a repackaged sun server.

Getting Started

The core of the Amaya framework, which is an independent dependency. I.e. it is enough to install only it to create a simple server. The kernel is built in such a way as not to force users to install unnecessary dependencies. In case you need any missing functionality, it will be enough to deliver the necessary dependency. The only possible inconvenience is the need to specify classindex in dependencies, but this is the fee for the launch speed: other similar libraries are incomparably slow.

To install it, you will need:

• java 8+
• classindex
• some implementation of slf4j
• Maven/Gradle

Installing

Gradle dependency

dependencies {
    annotationProcessor group: 'org.atteo.classindex', name: 'classindex', version: '3.11'
    implementation group: 'io.github.amayaframework', name: 'amaya-core', version: '1+'
    implementation group: 'io.github.amayaframework', name: 'amaya-sun', version: 'LATEST'
}

Maven dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.amayaframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>amaya-core</artifactId>
    <version>1+</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.amayaframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>amaya-sun</artifactId>
    <version>LATEST</version>
</dependency>

Usage example

Build manifest

To support getting method parameter names, add to your build.gradle the following

compileJava {
    options.compilerArgs << '-parameters'
}

Server class

public class Server {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
        Amaya<HttpServer> amaya = new SunBuilder().
                bind(8080).
                build();
        amaya.start();
    }
}

MyController class

@Endpoint
public class ExampleController {
    @Get("/hello/{count:int}")
    public HttpResponse get(HttpRequest request, @Path Integer count) {
        String helloWorld = "Hello, world!";
        StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i) {
            response.append(helloWorld).append('\n');
        }
        return Responses.ok(response);
    }
}

Let's look at the controller code in more detail.

• The Endpoint annotation instructs the framework to add a controller to the server at the specified path.
• Inheritance from AbstractController ensures that the contents of your controller will be properly processed.
• The Get annotation indicates to the framework that you want to register the corresponding method located along the passed sub-path relative to the controller path.
• The Path annotation shows the framework that you want to put the value of the path variable "count" in the specified argument.

There is nothing complicated or requiring a long study in this construction. However, the user is provided with a convenient tool that allows you to quickly and easily create an api without thinking about unnecessary things.
