Jodd is a collection of lightweight Java micro-frameworks and utility libraries with zero external dependencies, including a DI container (Petite), HTTP client, JSON parser, HTML parser (Lagarto/Jerry), mail client, and thin DB layer. This monorepo hosts the legacy v5 codebase; maintained v6 components have been split into separate repositories.

Use cases

• parse html with css selectors in java
• send email from a java app without heavy dependencies
• lightweight dependency injection container for java
• parse and serialize in java
• make http requests with a tiny java client
• map database rows to objects without a full orm
• replace java.util.properties with a better config format

When to choose

• you want small, zero-dependency Java libraries you can adopt piecemeal
• you need a lightweight alternative to Spring for DI, MVC, or DB access
• you want a jQuery-like HTML parser on the JVM
• you are on Java 8/11 and value minimal footprint

When to avoid

• you need the actively maintained v6 components - use the split jodd-* repositories instead
• you want a large ecosystem, community plugins, or long-term support guarantees
• you need reactive or modern async-first HTTP/database tooling
• you require features beyond the maintenance-mode v5 libraries
