What is Play Framework?
Play Framework is a full stack modern open source and Reactive Web Framework for Java and Scala languages from Lightbend (formerly known as Typesafe).
It is based on modular, asynchronous, and non-blocking architecture. Play 1.x was written in Java. Play 2.x was rewritten from scratch in Scala language. It has native support for Scala language.
It supports the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture. It supports Dependency Injection (DI) using the Guice framework and uses Twirl to support View Templates. Play Framework's View Templates need some Scala code.
Play Framework makes it easy to build web applications with Java and Scala. Play is based on a lightweight, stateless, web-friendly architecture.
