From webform to API using microframeworks
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like65 views
This document discusses converting a webform into an API using microframeworks like Quarkus and libraries such as Jsoup and WireMock. It notes that while microframeworks allow rapid prototyping with few lines of code and fast development, the resulting API can be brittle and break if the underlying form or responses change. The document provides links to the Quarkus, Jsoup, Jib, and WireMock open source projects discussed.

- 7. Java open source components • Quarkus: cloud-first, REST, OpenAPI • Alternatives: Micronaut, Helidon, (Spring Boot) • Jsoup: parsing (X)HTML • If a full browser would be required => HtmlUnit • WireMock: mocking HTTP responses • Jib: maven plugin for building containers • Docker not required on dev machine
- 8. Evaluation • Rapid prototyping • Very few lines of code • A few days from develop to deployment • Extremely fast to develop… • No changed in the backend needed • …but also very brittle • If the form or response changes, the API will break
