Which framework to choose for the front in Spring MVC?

Question

Spring

Hello everyone. Please tell me, does it make sense to use react js for a multi-page application on spring mvc or jQuery forever? I want to use it (react), it is not clear how profitable it will be if basically everything is done on the server

Answer 1

If you are doing just for yourself, then choose what you want. If you are doing this for work or you need someone to justify your choice, then ask yourself - what problem does this solve?
You write that you have a multi-page application and basically everything is on the server. Any react-angulary and so on. designed primarily for creating a single-page client application with complex logic - is this your case, do you really need to drag a lot of js to the client? If not, then write a good old multi-page application with some kind of template engine and js (you can take ts, you can write vanilla.js, you can use jQuery).
If you still need a single-page application, then your server needs to be rewritten a little so that it interacts with the outside world through some kind of REST, and then the server will not care what you will do on the frontend.
