Jmix — a high-level framework, idiomatic to Spring
Boot for building full-stack applications
Since Jmix is built on top of Spring Boot and is its ideological successor, developers spend
about 80% of their time interacting with familiar tools and concepts, ensuring greater
productivity in enterprise application development.
What is Jmix?
An ultimate solution to typical problems faced by Spring Boot developers
Spring Boot inside
Jmix is built on Spring Boot with the same concepts and ideas, so any developer can understand the structure of a Jmix project because it uses a familiar development approach.
High-level framework
Operate with high-level abstractions, write code faster and more pleasantly, don't waste time on boilerplate, and use the Spring Boot ecosystem to extend functionality.
Jmix Add-ons & Starters
Instead of repeating monotonous functionality and copy-pasting configurations, you can use ready-made add-ons for Jmix, which are just like Spring Boot Starters.
Freedom of Architectural Choice
Monolith, Jmix Composite, Spring Modulith, SOA, Self-Contained Systems, or microservices—choose at your discretion.
Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA
Jmix Studio simplifies onboarding and increases productivity when working with Spring Boot, JPA, Frontend.
Simple frontend without JS
A simple UI with a View-Controller architecture provides an intuitively understandable Java API for writing web interfaces on Vaadin.
Kotlin support
The platform fully supports Kotlin, allowing you to use all the advantages of a modern language when developing applications.
DB migration tools
Liquibase out of the box with automatic changelog generation and built-in tools provides convenient migration management.
Powerful JPA support
Jmix uses EclipseLink (JPA). Jmix Studio offers an Entity Designer for quick data model design.
Spring & Jmix Security
Setting up security in Spring can be time-consuming. Jmix simplifies working with Spring Security, allowing you to quickly configure security and conveniently create detailed permissions similar to ACL.
Server-side & Security
Server-side logic is fully encapsulated and protected from attackers thanks to the Thin Client approach. Your applications are secure out of the box thanks to the Jmix Server Side Rendering approach in Java.
TypeScript components
Write JS/TS client components by connecting them directly from npm and creating bindings without boilerplate.
Open Source
The Jmix framework is developed and distributed under an open-source model under the Apache 2.0 license.
Large community
An active developer community and forum will help you quickly get assistance during development.
