What I built
A backend server for people who don't want to write backend code.
Ready to Serve lets you set up a server with functionalities that you want by using plugins to offer those functionalities and map them to endpoints. Plugins are just jar files.

Set up
Download and run readytoserve-1.0.0.jar file and it will create the necessary files and directories for you during the first run. You can then customize where you keep the necessary data by editing the settings.json file.
What are plugins?
Plugins are Jar files. You use a plugin config file to configure aspects of the plugin and mapp it to an endpoint you want. The config file uses a .yml syntax.
Here is a sample plugin config:
- name: Sum
jarfile: helloworld.jar
method: com.bbloggsbott.helloworld.HelloWorld.getSum
endpoint: /sum
requestType: GET
args
- name: a
type: int
requestParam: true
- name: b
type: …Background
It originally started as a much simpler server that could serve static markdown content with live-reload so users can edit the markdown files and the changes (including endpoint changes) will be reflected without the need to restart the server. Then I wanted it to be able to let the user serve any functionality they want. So I built it so it can load any jar file and use the methods in it and link them to endpoints.
