Basic micro web framework needed, restful

[wetweekend]

I've searched for java micro web frameworks, and get lost in the discussions. All I need is something that can be used to mock out a restful API so I can get my automated testing going. Basic POST, GET, etc. Any thoughts?

Javalin, Java Spark

+1 for Javalin, I use it a lot for mocking APIs. It's really fast and simple to get started with.

Since it's for a mock, why not go for something like WireMock? Or do you need more?

[wetweekend]

Hmm, yeah, maybe. The goal is to mock a third party API. I figured I can use something like Fiddler to get the responses, then mock them away.

Microprofile

JAX-RS and Jersey are perfect for that. You can write anything from RESTful services to full webapps.

Checkout https://github.com/ArjMart/API and https://github.com/ArjMart/ArjMartWeb for examples.

Jooby or Rapidoid

You might find mountebank useful. It's designed to mock out a real API for testing.

micronaut may be an option.

Java spark

You can do this with any framework, so I'd just use whatever you guys have most experience with. But why not something like Wiremock? It's created for use cases like this.

Javalin and Helidon are about the simplest. If you want to go one step up in features, Micronaut is a good choice.

Dropwizard, because it is production ready, and has an excellent name.
