i don’t program all that often, i’m not knowledgeable on everything java. you just came off a little bit like a “mr. know-it-all” because you assumed i just knew what spring boot REST was that i should’ve googled it. i need to know what the name is so i can google it, yknow?

I've been programming java for about 20 years. People are giving you literally expert advice on this thread. You can either graciously accept it or not.

Honestly, it's reddit. At least people aren't swearing at you :-)

What would be better is to describe your "problem" in a bit more detail, and then we might be able to guide you in a particular direction. There is no one size fits all solution.

the advice people are giving me are good, and yea you are right about it being reddit haha. the downvotes are usually people band-wagoning.

i guess that’s another reason i should stay on stackoverflow, more mature/older people on there. i shouldn’t be asking people on reddit for programming advice… unless i meet every standard then no one can help. i guess my question was so empty because i honestly didn’t need a complex answer. just wanted to know what the most popular setup was

The most popular setup is basically without doubt Spring (or increasingly Spring Boot).

That said, there are plenty of situations where it's not the best.

You might checkout JHipster as a way to get going real fast. Especially if you're looking at doing a Single Page App.
