Today, I want to introduce an open-source framework I've been working on: Sakura Boot.
The Goal
Sakura Boot is designed to:
- Reduce Boilerplate Code Spring Boot simplifies backend development, but creating even a basic CRUD API still involves repetitive coding. Sakura Boot minimizes this by adopting a "convention over code" approach. Modules handle common tasks like CRUD operations, filtering, and DTO mappings, letting developers focus on their unique application logic.
- Ensure Best Practices
Sakura Boot follows modern development standards, with its internal implementation adhering to best practices. Comprehensive Javadoc examples help developers write clean, maintainable code.
- Offer Modularity and Customization
While the framework works great out-of-the-box for simple applications, it also allows customization. Developers can tailor features or extend functionality as needed, making it versatile for projects of all sizes.
QuickStart
A quick start is available at https://sakuraboot.sansenshimizu.org/documentation/sakura-boot/latest/quickstart.html
Current Status
Sakura Boot is at v0.1.1 and still undergoing development.
Key tasks include addressing potential bugs, refining the codebase, and completing necessary refactoring before reaching a stable 1.0.0 release.
The project welcomes feedback and contributions to enhance its features and usability further. Links
