TURKU, Finland, Nov. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vaadin, a provider of web application platforms for Java, is announcing the newest version of its open-source framework, Hilla. Hilla is adding support for React, the most popular JavaScript library for building high-performance front-end applications.
Hilla complements React by providing a platform enabling application teams to create business applications more quickly than with React alone.
It enables developers to:
- save development time with simplified communication between the front and back end, without the need to create a REST API.
- discover and fix errors earlier due to end-to-end type-safety and support for TypeScript, the most popular JavaScript flavor;
- build modern UIs more quickly with 45+ UI components for React and a customizable base theme;
- simplify security with endpoints that are secured by default and validation that ensures data integrity across the server and client;
- get started quickly with a zero-configuration toolchain for building both the UI and back end;
“Many development teams combine JavaScript/TypeScript on the front end with a Java back end,” said Steven Grandchamp, CEO of Vaadin. “While React is the most popular JavaScript library, developers also recognize that combining React with other tools can further improve productivity. Hilla provides a complete platform, supported and maintained by Vaadin, that works seamlessly with React, enabling application teams to create business applications more quickly than with React alone.”
The new release of Hilla will be generally available in December 2022. Vaadin offers subscriptions for Hilla that include advanced UI components and enterprise-grade support and maintenance.
