JAI Router is a minimal Spring Boot starter that centralizes dynamic route registration and exposes a small admin API for runtime routing. The project is ready for contributors — see CONTRIBUTING.md and issues labeled good first issue and help wanted.
Problem
- Dynamic route registration is often scattered across services and hard to test.
- Existing solutions introduce heavy dependencies or tightly couple to framework internals.
What JAI Router does
- Provides a small, testable API to register and manage routes at runtime.
- Integrates as a Spring Boot starter with minimal dependencies.
- Keeps route storage and dispatching modular and easy to mock in tests.
Key features
- Runtime route registration and removal.
- Pluggable route matching and handler resolution.
- Small API surface suitable for microservices and integration tests .
Quickstart
- Clone the repo: git clone hhttps://github.com/JAI-create-spec/JAI-Router/tree/develop
- Run locally: ./gradlew bootRun (Java 17)
- See README.md for quick-start snippets and example endpoints.
Example usage
Register a route via the admin API and validate it with an integration test. See README.md for concrete request and response examples.
