Elepy is a lightweight Java framework that generates a RESTful API and headless content management system (CMS). It uses annotations to define models and functionality like CRUD operations. The framework includes an optional admin panel CMS. Key features include customizability, frontend/database agnosticism, search, pagination, and more. The start() method generates routes for models and maps them to database operations. Future plans include additional plugins and tools to support mobile development.

What about alternatives?
Elepy vs Spring

In favor of Elepy: In favor of Spring:

- Spring is much more bloated and runs on - Spring is battle-tested and hardened
at least 3x more memory than Elepy - Large community
- Spring is REALLY opinionated - A safe business choice
- There is still a lot of configuration
- Spring is bloated, do you really need it?
- Spring has no CMS
Elepy vs Strapi

In favor of Elepy: In favor of Strapi:

- Elepy is developer first - Heavy focus on user-experience


- Strapi is written in JS - Much bigger community
- Strapi customization is very limiting, - Elepy is developer first
unless you want to edit the framework
yourself
- Strapi uses an Editable Generated Code
