About:
Jetty is a Java-based HTTP server and servlet container providing a flexible, scalable foundation for web applications. It implements the Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Server Pages, and WebSocket APIs, enabling dynamic content generation and real-time communication. Its lightweight architecture allows it to function as a standalone server or be embedded directly into Java applications for microservices.
|
Key Features:
- Asynchronous processing for high-concurrency performance
- Full support for Jakarta Servlet, JSP, and WebSocket specifications
- Embeddable architecture for microservices and custom applications
- Flexible configuration via XML, code, or annotations
|
Use Cases:
- Hosting dynamic Java web applications and REST APIs
- Embedding a web server within a Java application for microservices
- Developing real-time applications using WebSockets
|
Alternatives:
-
Apache Tomcat
– Tomcat is a pure servlet container, while Jetty offers a more versatile HTTP server with broader protocol support.
-
Netty
– Netty is a low-level networking framework requiring more boilerplate, whereas Jetty provides a higher-level container experience.
