## Vraptor Reviews
  ### 1. A valid attempt but failed as a community

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jayr M. | Programming Teacher, Education Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2016

**What do you like best about Vraptor?**

VRaptor always surprised me with its simplicity, in the 3rd version of the framework (that was Spring-based) there were many features that made me use it instead of the pure Spring. The 4th version came with some improvements and major changes and a lot of feature to keep the framework on the horizon of competing Java web frameworks.

**What do you dislike about Vraptor?**

Although there are many good features and ideas, the community never really built upon it in a way that one could really trust. As I was a fierce user of the 3rd version and started another project on the 4th version, I became completely disappointed with the major flaws and lack of interest from other parties. Of course as an open-source project I could jump in and fix the issue I encountered, but when many issues appears on a project that has no time for that and no one else is helping, things must quickly change (and so I did, I migrated this project to Spring).

**Recommendations to others considering Vraptor:**

Be careful when adopting this technology. It is very easy to use and has a good documentation but lacks more active contributors to improve and fix things.

**What problems is Vraptor solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was building an education platform REST API on top of it.
