Jodd is a Java library that includes various lightweight frameworks and components for general-purpose usage. It is open-source, making it freely available to developers.
Jodd is free software that adheres to terms, conditions, and guidelines established under the BSD license. With Jodd, you can enhance the functionality of the JDK thanks to its useful utilities that make certain functionalities that would otherwise require a lot of coding, more accessible. These utilities include functors (static methods) that are tailor-made for different types of string manipulations, reflection, and class loading. Other utility tools are built to serve unique purposes like hashing, servlets, file uploads, primitive arrays, and more.
One of Jodd's strongest suits is its fast and efficient bean manipulation tool that comes in various variants like forced, silent, and declared. This tool works with class fields and properties, ensuring that users can apply custom extensions easily. Additionally, Jodd has introspection and type conversion tools that work independently of the bean manipulation tool to enable efficient and straightforward bean processing.
JDateTime simplifies time handling. This developer-friendly tool uses well-defined astronomical algorithms to apply precise date and time manipulation. JDateTime includes numerous conversion tools, including its impressive string conversion features. It is a useful utility, especially if one has experienced challenges working with JDK Calendar.
Jodd's Db component is dedicated to making database support in Java easier by providing layers around plain JDBC. This tool reduces the amount of code required to work with databases by including a smart statement facade, database session encapsulation, and simple object relations. Moreover, DbOrm allows for efficient object mapping and query auto-generation.
Madvoc is Jodd's web framework that emphasizes convention over configuration, making web development less code-intensive while retaining full functionality. Another Jodd component is Petite, a zero-configuration container that supports various component scopes, circular dependency checker, and annotation-based component wiring.
Lastly, Proxetta is Jodd's proxy creation tool that employs plain Java and unique bytecode manipulation to guarantee fast and efficient proxy method implementation.
Jodd's latest release fixes some known bugs to ensure better performance and improved user experience.
