Do you know JavaScript and JQuery?

If you are a web developer, chances are you are forced to. After many years of developing web applications I have found it easier to use JavaScript on the client and server. With fincayra, you don't have to mark up your html templates with special code snippets or attributes. Your html document gets loaded into a document object (on the server), and you manipulate it similar to using [http://jquery.org/ jQuery]. For example, you can do this with both JQuery in the browser and fincayra on the server..

$("body").append("<p>Another paragraph</p>");

This is possible because fincayra uses an awesome project called jsoup and exposes the current page through the $() function. There are some minor differences between jsoup and jQuery of course, but it's close enough, and very powerful.

Fincayra also has built-in persistence through orientDB and search through Lucene!
