Why Solon for REST APIs?
What drew me to Solon in the first place was how little code it takes to get something running. There's no heavy annotation processing, no XML configuration files to maintain, and the startup time is genuinely fast — we're talking sub-second for most small to mid-sized applications.
But more importantly, the API design feels intuitive if you've worked with modern Java frameworks. @Controller, @Mapping, @Inject — nothing exotic. You'll feel at home within minutes.
