Kobweb is an opinionated Kotlin framework for creating websites and web apps, built on top of Compose for Web and inspired by Next.js and Chakra UI.
At its core, Kobweb is a handful of classes responsible for trimming away much of the boilerplate around building a Web Compose app, such as routing and configuring basic CSS styles. It exposes a handful of annotations and utility methods which your app can use to communicate intent with the framework. Kobweb is at a technology preview stage.
This is free and open source software.
This framework aims to provide:
- An intuitive structure for organizing your Kotlin website or web app.
- Automatic handling of routing between pages.
- A collection of useful batteries included widgets built on top of Compose for Web.
- An environment built from the ground up around live reloading.
- Static site exports for improved SEO.
- Shared, rich types between client and server.
- Out-of-the-box Markdown support.
