What is Javalin?
Javalin started as a fork of the Spark framework but quickly turned into a ground-up rewrite influenced by express.js. Both of these web frameworks are inspired by the modern micro web framework grandfather: Sinatra, so if you’re coming from Ruby then Javalin shouldn’t feel too unfamiliar.
Javalin is a tool in the Microframeworks (Backend) category of a tech stack.
Javalin is an open source tool with GitHub stars and GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Javalin's open source repository on GitHub
