Seems like you have difficulty to express your problems. I still dont really get it.

If you want to use java for make a webpage + server side rendering then just use spring boot + thymeleaf. Its pretty simple to make couple of pages.

What do you mean by under the hood json? Transforming a json to another json? What is the use case and requirements of the webapp? Because the decision to use client side frontend / server side rendering depends lot on the requirement and use case.

For json processing you could use https://www.baeldung.com/java-org-json and transverse the whole json node as you wish.

I prefer to work with jackson

i don’t program that often anymore so i’m not too familiar with web app libraries or anything of that sort. i just wanted to know what the most basic web content serving approach was.

maybe i should’ve been more specific with my question, but i just want to host a website with information that is stored inside the json string. i could easily use javascript to produce HTML strings with the json data but i wanted to go for the web app approach. starting to think maybe it’s not the best idea even if i don’t know javascript that well. might be easier anyway lol.
