MyFaces is a family of projects related to the JavaServer Faces (JSF) specification published as part of the Java Community Process. The "core" project is an implementation of that specification. Other MyFaces projects implement related specifications (eg the Portlet Bridge), or add features to any JSF implementation (not just the Myfaces Core). JavaServer(tm) Faces (JSF) is a web application framework specification (JSR252, JSR127) based around the model-view-controller pattern. The Apache MyFaces project provides both an implementation of the JSF specification ("MyFaces Core"), and a set of add-on libraries that work on any implementation of the specification (including, of course, Apache MyFaces Core). JSF is quite similar to the <a class="http" href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry">Tapestry framework</a> as that is also a component-based framework. JSF can also fill the same "niche" as the well-known <a class="http" href="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/">Struts framework</a>, but has a rather different approach.

 The Apache MyFaces project provides: 
 <UL>
	<LI>A JavaServer(tm) Faces implementation (MyFaces API, MyFaces Impl modules)</LI>
	<LI>Several component libraries containing UI widgets for building web-applications with JSF (e.g. MyFaces Tomahawk, MyFaces Trinidad, MyFaces Tobago)</LI>
	<LI>Extension packages to JavaServer(tm) Faces (e.g. MyFaces Orchestra, MyFaces Extensions Validator)</LI>
	<LI>integration modules to other technologies and standards (e.g. MyFaces Portlet Bridge for integration with the portlet-standard)</LI>

Jooby - A Scalable, fast and modular micro web framework for Java

The goal of this project is to create a micro web framework in Java that should be easy to use and hack. Pippo can be used in small and medium applications and also in applications based on micro services architecture. Also, Pippo comes with a very small footprint that makes it excellent for embedded devices (Raspberry Pi for example).
