A simple, lightweight batch processing framework for Java designed for ETL jobs.
Easy Batch is a batch processing framework for Java that simplifies the development of ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) jobs. It eliminates boilerplate code for reading, writing, filtering, and parsing data, allowing developers to focus on business logic. The framework processes records through a configurable pipeline and provides built-in reporting and metrics.
Java developers building simple to moderate batch data processing jobs, such as ETL pipelines, file format conversions, or data validation tasks.
Easy Batch offers a lightweight, straightforward alternative to heavier frameworks like Spring Batch, with a declarative API that reduces code complexity and improves maintainability for single-task batch jobs.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses a fluent API to define readers, processors, filters, and writers in a clear pipeline, reducing code complexity and improving readability for ETL jobs.
Handles resource I/O, iteration, parsing, and writing automatically, letting developers focus on business logic rather than infrastructure.
Automatically generates detailed job reports with metrics like processing time and error counts, simplifying monitoring and debugging.
Abstracts data formats with unified Record and Batch APIs, supporting CSV, XML, and others through pluggable readers and writers.
As stated in the README, only bug fixes are addressed since 2020, with no new features or active development, limiting future growth and adaptation.
Designed specifically for straightforward, single-task ETL jobs, lacking advanced features like transaction management, chunk processing, or job orchestration found in enterprise frameworks.
Has fewer community contributions, third-party extensions, and built-in connectors compared to alternatives like Spring Batch, which may require custom implementations for complex needs.
