Neo: libraries for building Java-based web applications

The Neo project contains several libraries that enable writing resilient, high scalable, web-based applications and services. This includes convenience artifacts in context of Java8 as well as web artifacts

Neo considers synchronous programming as well as the asynchronous, reactive-oriented programming approach.

Requires JDK 1.8 or higher

This project is still on alpha level. Interfaces are subject of change

Internal implementation notes

1. Minimal usage of 3rd parts libraries. Neo relies on JSE and partly on JEE. Further more Neo makes usage of Google Guava, Jersey and the Jackson lib.

2. Zero configuration. By default the libraries uses production ready defaults

3. Neo prefers a fluent interface style. Async methods are suffixed with Async and return a CompletableFuture instance

4. Neo prefers immutable artifacts. For instance Neo makes use of an "immutable builder pattern". Here, the builder method (typically prefixed by with) returns a new immutable instance of the object to build.
