Overview

JHipster provides tools to generate a project with a Java stack on the server side (using Spring Boot) and a responsive Web front-end on the client side (with AngularJS and Bootstrap).

The term 'JHipster' comes from 'Java Hipster', as its initial goal was to use all the modern and 'hype' tools available at the time. Today, it has reached a more enterprise goal, with a strong focus on developer productivity, tooling and quality.
