Lift (framework)
Lift is a free web framework . It offers similar advantages as Ruby on Rails , but lift applications are written in Scala instead of Ruby and are usually not based on the MVC architecture pattern. The use of Scala means that existing Java libraries and EJB containers can be used immediately.
Lift applications are packaged as web archives and stored on any servlet container (such as Tomcat or Jetty ). Java development environments such as Eclipse , NetBeans or IDEA are used for Lift . Dynamic content can be edited in standard XHTML editors. Lift takes great advantage of the computing power and portability of the Java VM , the tools of Java development, the highly developed collections of the Java libraries and the advantages of the Scala language.
Lift was started as an open source project on February 26, 2007 and reached version 1.0 exactly two years later.
The current version of Lift 3.3.0 was released on July 21, 2018.
Uses
A popular use of lift can be found in Foursquare , for example . In the beginning, Foursquare was based on PHP , but the developers decided to switch to Lift due to the limitations of PHP. Even Novell Vibe is based on the lift.
