JSF (JavaServer Faces)

JSF (JavaServer Faces) is a Java framework that helps you build web apps using reusable UI components and managed beans. It's like the Java equivalent of React, except it's been around since 2004 and has more XML than a Stack Overflow post.

How to use it in a sentence

  • I was going to use JSF (JavaServer Faces) for my new web app, but then I remembered I wanted to actually ship something this decade.

  • My boss keeps talking about modernizing our JSF (JavaServer Faces) app, but I think he just discovered React and wants to sound hip.

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.
