## What it is
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
