General Application Stack

ORCID Source is set of web apps and libraries built in Java with Spring Web MVC and persistence provided by Postgres Database.

Frontend Technologies (brief version): On the client side we utilize HTML, AJAX, JQuery and AngularJS. Server side we use FreeMarker for view rendering.

Backend Technologies (brief version): Spring Web MVC is our web framework. For security we use Spring Security. Our restful services are built with Jersey and JAXB. Finally we use JPA/Hibernate to persist models to a Postgres Database database.
