I write applications using Spring and I’m also aware of other Java frameworks existing. It seems that all of them utilize the concept of objects (beans in Spring) being placed in a container to be then injected in dependent classes. It looks like this model of application is natural for an OOP language such as Java, but are there other models, and what are they, if any?
Of course, frameworks such as Spring make development easier and faster and handler low-level stuff. I’m not speaking about RESTful enterprise web apps particularly.

There are countless frameworks and approaches, each catering to specific needs. For example:
- Kafka: Enables event-driven development, often without dependency injection.
- OSGi: Focuses on modularization and lifecycle management.
- Apache Camel: Specializes in integration and routing.
- Apache Spark: Optimized for batch processing and distributed computing.
These are just a few examples; there are dozens, if not hundreds, of popular frameworks, each tailored to different architectural styles and use cases.
