Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

DESCRIPTION:
jsoncat is a lightweight HTTP framework built in Java (using Netty) that aims to replicate some of the feel of Spring Boot—but in a minimal, educational style focused on clarity rather than full enterprise complexity. The project is organized as a small library and tutorial-style codebase, where core HTTP handling, routing, and JSON processing are exposed in a compact way so learners can trace how HTTP requests are parsed and dispatched. Because it avoids heavy abstractions and auto-magical configuration, it’s suited to developers who want to understand what happens beneath frameworks rather than just use them. The code has detailed comments (recently translated or annotated for Chinese readers), making it a practical study project for learning network programming, middleware design, and handler chains. Projects like this are especially useful for backend engineers or Java learners who want to demystify how web servers and routing frameworks work at a low level.
Features
- Minimal Netty-based HTTP server framework with JSON routing support
- Hands-on and readable code designed for study rather than full-scale production
- Built-in HTTP methods, routing maps, and JSON request/response handling
- Detailed comments (including Chinese-language annotations) for easier comprehension
- Lightweight dependency footprint for quick exploration and experimentation
- Suitable for educational use, internal prototypes, or building simple microservices
