Open Source Low-Code Development Platform to accelerate software development.
Write just the domain classes in plain Java. Get a web application ready for production.
OpenXava is open source (LGPL) so you can use it for free, even for creating commercial applications. We have an enterprise edition of OpenXava called XavaPro with some enterprise-grade features, but with a very reasonable pricing compared with other low-code platforms. Look at the pricing.
250,000 downloads. Thousands of threads in the public forums. Hundreds of professionals in LinkedIn with OpenXava experience. Hundreds of applications developed. Look at success stories.
The code of an OpenXava application is a subset of the code for a Java EE or a Spring application, the most used enterprise development platforms nowadays. Therefore you get access to millions of Java developers ready to develop with OpenXava. Moreover, you can migrate to Java EE or Spring your OpenXava application in any moment (or vice versa). OpenXava uses the next Java standards: JSR-338, JSR-317, JSR-303, JSR-330, JSR-220, JSR-153, JSR-168 and JSR-286.
You only write the code for your data structure and business logic. You do not write HTML, JavaScript, CSS, SQL, etc. The user interface and the database logic are automatically provided.
Learning how to write simple Java classes is enough to write complete applications. The OpenXava bundle is prepared for a rapid startup.
AJAX user interface with no page reloading. List mode with paging, ordering, filtering, adding / removing / moving columns, PDF reports, export to Excel, cards format, charts, etc. Detail mode with tabs, frames, dialogs, editors for references and collections, responsive layout, etc.

"I can't recall when I was so excited about a framework, specially for web development. I have been in the field since 1983 and I am hard to impress. With OpenXava I am impress!"
"This is like a dream come true, as I have been wanting something like that since the day I programmed my first user interface."
"I must say: my compliments! ... I have actually quite a lot of experience in UI automation. So it takes a lot to impress me. And I am impressed."
"Honestly, OpenXava has changed the way rapid Application Development should be. We are happy developers since then."
"I've been able to put together more functionality in my initial 6 days of starting to learn OpenXava (and I know nothing about java itself - yet) than I was able to accomplish in several weeks of either RoR or Laravel, and I know a bit of Ruby and PHP."
"Openxava is brilliant. I used Wavemaker as a UI before, and that was really hard work."
"The real catch about our experience while developing with OpenXava was the speed of development without compromising the quality."
"OpenXava for me is an exceptional tool, saving us time, made it standard interfaces, imposed a criterion of unique development in the organization."
"Good tools with good support. Developer utopia!"
"I'm very excited. I have many flight hours as programmer and I didn't find something so good for a long time."
"I think OpenXava is an extraordinary tool, it makes reality a fantasy, that is MDD and at the same time works like a RAD, all this using Java."
"Excellent framework. Easy implementation, pretty simple yet very powerful."
"Great for Rapid Development."
"I am using OpenXava and finding it wonderfully refreshing, as someone who needs to program in Java with no Java knowledge it is a wonderful tool so thanks!"
"This framework never ceases to surprise me, the best development framework you've never seen, without a doubt. Speechless."
"OpenXava is a high quality framework for Java. Very productive."
