+
+### 🏛️ Architecture
+
+Frameworks and libraries that help implement and verify design and architecture concepts.
- [ArchUnit](https://github.com/TNG/ArchUnit) - Test library for specifying and asserting architecture rules.
- [jMolecules](https://github.com/xmolecules/jmolecules) - Annotations and interfaces to express design and architecture concepts in code.
-### Artificial Intelligence

+
+### 🤖 Artificial Intelligence
+
+Frameworks that help you leverage LLMs and AI.
- [LangChain4j](https://github.com/langchain4j/langchain4j) - Simplifies integration of LLMs with unified APIs and a comprehensive toolbox.
- [MCP Java SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/java-sdk) - Enables applications to interact with AI models and tools through a standardized interface (i.e. Model Context Protocol), supporting both synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns.
- [simple-openai](https://github.com/sashirestela/simple-openai) - Library to use the OpenAI API (and compatible ones) in the simplest possible way.
- [Spring AI](https://spring.io/projects/spring-ai) - Application framework for AI engineering for Spring.
-### Bean Mapping

+
+### 🫘 Bean Mapping
+
+Frameworks that ease bean mapping.
- [dOOv](https://github.com/doov-io/doov) - Provides fluent API for typesafe domain model validation and mapping. It uses annotations, code generation and a type safe DSL to make bean validation and mapping fast and easy.
- [JMapper](https://github.com/jmapper-framework/jmapper-core) - Uses byte code manipulation for lightning-fast mapping. Supports annotations and API or XML configuration.
@@ -116,18 +162,24 @@ _Frameworks that ease bean mapping._
- [reMap](https://github.com/remondis-it/remap) - Lambda and method handle-based mapping which requires code and not annotations if objects have different names.
- [Selma](https://github.com/xebia-france/selma) - Annotation processor-based bean mapper.

+### 🛠️ Build
+
+Tools that handle the build cycle and dependencies of an application.
- [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org) - Declarative build and dependency management that favors convention over configuration. It might be preferable to Apache Ant, which uses a rather procedural approach and can be difficult to maintain.
- [Bazel](https://bazel.build) - Tool from Google that builds code quickly and reliably.
- [Buck2](https://github.com/facebook/buck2) - Encourages the creation of small, reusable modules consisting of code and resources.
- [Gradle](https://gradle.org) - Incremental builds programmed via Groovy instead of declaring XML. Works well with Maven's dependency management.
-### Bytecode Manipulation

+Libraries to manipulate bytecode programmatically.
- [ASM](https://asm.ow2.io) - All-purpose, low-level bytecode manipulation and analysis.
- [Byte Buddy](https://bytebuddy.net) - Further simplifies bytecode generation with a fluent API.
