+# Application Frameworks 
+
+One of the main tasks, when writing a GWT application is separating the code and managing the state. GWT offers with

+
+Domino-mvp is a small, simple and a very lightweight framework for building both simple and complex applications using
+GWT, it introduce the concept of routing using both tokens and events, also allows the developers to write a modular 
+application and shared components with any other domino application.
+
+For more information about domino-mvp, see: [domino-mvp at GitHub](https://github.com/DominoKit/domino-mvp)

+Nalu is a tiny framework that helps you to create GWT based applications quite easily. Using the HTML 5 history for

+# Creating GWT applications
+
+The GWT framework comes with an application creator known as **webAppCreator**. This **webAppCreator** creates 
+a simple Maven project with some test code. It is ready use, will launch and while running, do a RPC server call. All 
+classes are located in one Maven project.
+
+Besides the **webAppCreator** there are more application creator. Depending on your needs, this archetype creator might be 
+a better choice for your needs.
+
+## Application Creators
+
+Here are a list of application creator. As far as we known, all of this projects are under active development.
+
+### gwt-maven-archetypes<a id="create-third-party-tb"></a>
+
+This archetype creator will generate a Maven based GWT project with separate modules for client-, shared- and server-code.
+The server module is based on Jetty. In modern GWT development the separation of client-, shared- and server-code is the 
+way to go. This archetype generator is a great place to start. 
+
+For more information visit the archetype at [gwt-maven-archetypes at GitHub](https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes)
+and follow the instructions. 
+
+### gwt-maven-springboot-archetype<a id="create-third-party-nk"></a>
+
+This archetype creator will generate a Maven based GWT project with separate modules for client-, shared- and server-code
+similar to the one above, but in opposite to the first one, uses Spring Boot on the server side. In case
+you are planing to use Spring Boot on the server side, this is a prefect archetype to start

+
+### domino-cli<a id="create-third-party-do-cli"></a>
+
+The domino-cli provides a tool for generating application templates using the DominoKit tool stack.

+# Communication, Validation & more ... 
+
+GWT comes with a variate of frameworks to communicate with the server.
+Take a look at [Ajax Communication](/doc/latest/tutorial/clientserver.html) for more information about modules GWT offers.
+Besides that, there are many useful libraries.
+
+Check these:
+
+## Client-Server-Communication
+
+Besides the [communication to the server provided by GWT](/doc/latest/tutorial/clientserver.html) 
+there are alternative implementations, too.
+
+### domino-rest<a id="domino-rest"></a>
+
+Domino-rest is a lib for generating rest clients from JaxRs compatible interfaces, and the generated clients can be used 
+from both client side -browser- using GWT and on the server. The lib works with GWT2 and also with GWT3/J2CL. The 
+serialization and deserialization is based on domino-jackson and service definition is based on JaxRs annotations, while 
+code generation uses annotation processing APT.
+
+For more information see: [domino-rest at GitHub](https://dominokit.com/solutions/domino-rest/v1) and [domino-jackson at GitHub](https://dominokit.com/solutions/domino-jackson/v1)
+
+## Validation<a id="validation"></a>
+
+There are several implementation to validate data in GWT:
+
+### Iban4g - IBAN-Validation<a id="iban4g"></a>
+
+A Java, GWT and J2CL ready library for generation and validation of the International Bank Account Numbers (IBAN ISO_13616)
+and Business Identifier Codes (BIC ISO_9362). The library can be used on the client and server side.
+
+For more information, see: [iban4g at GitHub](https://github.com/NaluKit/iban4g)
+
+### Malio - POJO-Validation<a id="malio"></a>
+
+Malio is a tiny framework to validate POJOs using annotations. It is easy to use by just adding annotations to members 
+of a POJO. No writing of validations or validators. Based on the annotations inside the POJO, the processor generates
+a validator. The generated validator can be used to check or validate the POJO. Malio valdators can bes used in GWT, J2CL
+and Java.
+
+For more information, see: [malio at GitHub](https://github.com/NaluKit/malio)
+
+### gwt-bean-validators<a id="gwt-bean-validators"></a>
+
+Implementation of Bean Validation (JSR-303/JSR-349/JSR-380) for GWT as replacement of deprecated GWT internal validation
+implementation.
+
+For more information, see: [gwt-bean-validators at GitLab](https://gitlab.com/ManfredTremmel/gwt-bean-validators)
+
+## Support
+
+The GWT project team does not support these projects. In case you have questions or would like to open an issue, please
+contact the contributor of the project!
+
+## Missing Something?

+If you are missing a dependency or a framework from the list, please follow the instructions [here](add-lib.html) to add it.
