Compatibility

For the best effect, we recommend that you combine Vaadin with a well-documented Java backend framework such as Spring or JavaEE/CDI. With these combinations, Vaadin can provide everything you need for fully featured web applications.

On the client-side, any Vaadin component can be used independently without the full framework. Dependencies are managed through npm. In addition, Vaadin Router works well on its own, and can be used in lightweight client-side applications.
