Snyk has just released the annual JVM ecosystem report! This report presents the results of the largest annual survey on the state of the JVM ecosystem.
This year's survey is a cooperation between Snyk and Azul and was slightly different from the previous surveys. We aimed for the survey to be more concise and focus only on the most important aspects of JVM developers today. Additionally, this year every participant was allowed to choose multiple options. We believe that the way the 2021 survey was designed, we have a better and more comprehensive view of the current JVM ecosystem. In this report, we also looked at different open data sources like GitHub and Google Trends to see how that data compares to the survey results.
Next to the results, there are some great highlight stories in this report like:
- Java, Changing Faster Than Ever After 26 Years by Simon Ritter
- The State of Spring by Josh Long
Report Highlights:

We would like to thank everyone who participated and offered their insights on Java and JVM-related topics. Big shoutout to Foojay.io, the VirtualJUG, and other Java communities for the invaluable help. This massive effort results in an impressive number of developers participating in the survey, giving great insight into the current state of the JVM ecosystem.

3 years agoI see that you save the point of interest as text in the DB but the response gotten from ChatGPT is JSON. Does this mean you convert the response into string using libraries like gson before saving it in the database?

3 years agoHey, The response is a String object in the JSON format [1]. The repository takes this JSON string as is and stores to the database [2]. Presently, Spring Data auto-generates the CREATE TABLE statement on the startup and sets the "point of interest" column's type to "text" (or "varchar", don't remember). However, it's always possible to ask Spring Data to use the "json" or "jsonb" type for the column if you wish to query the JSON at the database level. Finally, Vaadin displays a list of PointsOfInterests. Those are generated using the org.json library [3]. Let me know if you have other questions. Hope this helps.
