grumpyrest is a Java REST server framework that does not use annotations, automatic dependency injection or reactive streams, and minimizes the use of reflection. I created this because I got fed up with annotation-mad frameworks that you cannot easily understand, step into or reason about. grumpyrest uses the type system to guide JSON mapping and validation, and (possibly virtual) threads for parallelism. It's for grumpy people who don't like what REST server programming in Java has become.I made this because I intend to use it in one of my own projects, but at the same time I want to make it available to others to (hopefully) get some good ideas on how to extend it.
