Asity

Asity is an HTTP/WebSocket abstraction layer for various web frameworks on the JVM. Asity provides a tool-kit for writing a web fragment, a function that handles HTTP request-response exchange and WebSocket, and allows to create web applications by combining web fragments.

For example, with Asity you can write a web fragment that sends back incoming WebSocket messages as follows

Action<ServerWebSocket> action = ws -> ws.ontext(ws::send).onbinary(ws::send);

And plug it into Java API for WebSocket, Spring WebFlux, Spring MVC, Vert.x, Netty, Play Framework, Grizzly, and so on. Visit the Asity website for the full documentation.
