Play! Framework

Abstract

The Play! framework is more than just yet another web framework in the Java eco-system: it is also another way of developing web applications. Like RoR, Django, it encourages fast and expressive development, with a clean and pragmatic API. Most importantly, perhaps, it brings simplicity to the Java world. It is the first web application framework in Java that is built by web developers for web developers. Because it is a simple, stateless framework that promotes a RESTful approach it offers the possibility of building complex web applications and, by extension, complex systems.
