Simple, lightweight, modern, turnkey, Java web server library

SMRTR summary

Jet is a lightweight Java web library built on top of Jetty, designed to offer a cleaner developer experience with exhaustive Javadoc, type-safe header models, URL builders, and OpenAPI annotation support. It handles HTTP/1, HTTP/2, SSL via Let's Encrypt, sessions, SSE, and response compression — all without runtime annotation magic or framework lock-in. A Gradle plugin enables end-to-end type-safe API generation.
