What are the industry-standard frameworks for Java web development as of 2022?

Hey! If you’re thinking full-stack today:

  • Backend: Spring Boot remains the default, but Micronaut, Quarkus, and Vert.x are worth exploring depending on scale and performance needs.

  • Frontend: React or Angular dominate, often paired with REST APIs or GraphQL endpoints.

  • Other tools: Many teams now use Spring Cloud or Kubernetes for microservices orchestration, along with gRPC or GraphQL for efficient communication.

In short, Java backend hasn’t lost its place, but cloud-native and reactive frameworks are growing fast, while frontend has largely shifted to JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks.
