| description.long | Fresh is a web framework that renders pages on the server by default, serving plain HTML with zero JavaScript to browsers unless you explicitly enable interactive components. It eliminates configuration files, build steps, and node_modules, using Preact-powered islands for selective client-side interactivity. | A framework for creating stand-alone, production-grade Spring applications with minimal configuration. Features embedded web servers (Tomcat, Jetty, Undertow), opinionated starter dependencies, automatic configuration, and production-ready features such as metrics and health checks. |
