SmartClient

SmartClient is a full-stack framework for creating web applications with JavaScript and Java. It targets self-hosted deployment and uses single-page application rendering. The framework is available on the web and follows a dual-license model, combining an open-source LGPL option with commercial editions. The LGPL Edition provides the core SmartClient framework and serves as the free plan. Pro Edition adds enterprise capabilities, Power Edition provides advanced enterprise capabilities, and Enterprise Edition represents the highest-tier commercial capability set. This structure lets teams start with the core framework under the LGPL license or select a commercial edition for broader enterprise requirements. SmartClient does not include an ORM, so database-mapping functionality is outside its listed framework components. Its full-stack scope covers application development across the stated JavaScript and Java languages, while self-hosting gives organizations responsibility for their deployment target. Buyers can therefore evaluate the framework around language support, single-page rendering, licensing choices, and the level of enterprise capability required. Prices for the listed editions are not provided.

SmartClient suits developers building self-hosted web applications with JavaScript or Java. It can fit teams choosing between an open-source core framework and commercial editions with progressively broader enterprise capabilities.

The LGPL Edition covers the core framework, while higher editions add increasing levels of enterprise capability. No ORM is included.

Pick SmartClient if you need a JavaScript-and-Java, full-stack web framework with single-page rendering and self-hosted deployment. The LGPL Edition offers the core framework without a listed charge, while commercial editions add enterprise capabilities. Look elsewhere if an included ORM is essential or if you require published commercial pricing.
