How to Choose a Frontend Framework For Your Java Backend
summary
Compares concrete implementations of a to‑do app across React, Lit, Vue, Angular and full‑stack Vaadin options and shows what actually changes: wiring, templating, form binding, and deployment. Demonstrates end‑to‑end type safety and generated TypeScript types when using Vaadin Fusion and Flow with auto-generated TypeScript types, and a binder that validates and submits to Spring Boot endpoints, plus a 40+ component design system that works. Contrasts that React/Lit/Vue/Angular require assembling routing, state, forms and build tooling and may cost productivity later.
