## Notes

Jooby is a Java and Kotlin framework built from a core and over 50 thin modules, among them template engine modules. It can run on Netty, Jetty, Undertow or Vert.x. A new project is scaffolded by the jooby command-line tool into a Maven or Gradle build, optionally with a Dockerfile.

An application is packaged as a fat jar and started with "java -jar", so a live site needs a host that keeps a JVM process running.

## Worth knowing

Releases continue on more than one major line, and the newest release overall can be on an older line than the current major.
