 Apache Shiro |
| Introduction | Apache Shiro is a versatile Java security framework that simplifies key security tasks such as authentication, authorization, session management, and cryptography. Known for its clean and intuitive API, Shiro enables developers to easily manage user identities, roles, and permissions. It supports "Remember Me" features, custom realms, and secure session handling, making it suitable for both small applications and large-scale enterprise systems. |

Apache Shiro version 1 is approaching the end of its lifecycle and will soon be officially superseded by version 2. As a result, developers are strongly encouraged to adopt Apache Shiro v2 for new projects or when upgrading existing applications.
Version 2 introduces architectural improvements, enhanced security features, and long-term support, making it a more future-ready and reliable choice for modern Java applications.
