+
+### 🏛️ Architecture
+
+<sub><i>Frameworks and libraries that help implement and verify design and architecture concepts.</i></sub>
 
 - [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
 
-_Frameworks that help you to leverage LLMs and AI._
+---
+
+### 🤖 Artificial Intelligence
+
+<sub><i>Frameworks that help you leverage LLMs and AI.</i></sub>
 
 - [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
+
+<sub><i>Frameworks that ease bean mapping.</i></sub>
 
 - [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._

+
+### 🛠️ Build
+
+<sub><i>Tools that handle the build cycle and dependencies of an application.</i></sub>
 
 - [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._
+---
+
+### 🧬 Bytecode Manipulation
+
+<sub><i>Libraries to manipulate bytecode programmatically.</i></sub>
 
 - [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.
