Emberjs with a Java REST backend

Question

I am looking into Java (possibly Scala) for a project that will use Ember and ember-data. I know I can write a backend to format the JSON, but I was wondering if there are any Java packages for Java more capable for building the JSON strings in a format that will utilize the DS.RESTAdapter more effectively without building something completely custom?

Something similar to Rails Active Model Serializers would be ideal, or a JSON serializer and a replacement REST adapter for Ember.

Just asking you all before I need to build something from scratch. Thanks!

Answer 1

I would look into any of the following frameworks or libraries to create REST APIs with java and/or scala:

• Play Framework
• Vert.x
• Spray
• Dropwizard (which uses Jetty, Jersey, and Jackson)
