Minum – A minimal Java web framework
I am happy to announce my minimalist zero-dependency web framework, Minum, is out of beta. http://github.com/byronka/minum You will be hard-pressed to find another modern project as obsessively minimalistic. Other frameworks will claim simplicity and minimalism and then, casually, mention they are built on a multitude of libraries. This follows self-imposed constraints, predicated on a belief that smaller and lighter is long-term better.

In plain words
Minum is a minimalist Java web framework with zero dependencies, designed for developers who prefer hands-on programming over configuration. Built with Java 21's virtual threads, it prioritizes simplicity, maintainability, performance, and thorough documentation. The framework follows strict self-imposed constraints to remain lightweight, making it suitable for developers familiar with HTTP and HTML who value smaller codebases for long-term sustainability.

I am happy to announce my minimalist zero-dependency web framework, Minum, is out of beta. http://github.com/byronka/minum You will be hard-pressed to find another modern project as obsessively minimalistic. Other frameworks will claim simplicity and minimalism and then, casually, mention they are built on a multitude of libraries. This follows self-imposed constraints, predicated on a belief that smaller and lighter is long-term better. Caveat emptor: This is a project by and for developers who know and like programming (rather than, let us say, configuring). It is written in Java, and presumes familiarity with the HTTP/HTML paradigm. Driving paradigms of this project: * ease of use * maintainability / sustainability * simplicity * performance * good documentation * good testing It requires Java 21, for its virtual threads (Project Loom)
