JAXRS Insights

What is JAXRS?

JAX-RS (Jakarta RESTful Web Services, formerly Java API for RESTful Web Services) is a Jakarta EE specification that provides APIs for developing RESTful web services. It uses annotations to simplify the development and deployment of web services, enabling developers to easily map HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) to Java methods and define request/response formats. JAX-RS implementations like Jersey and RESTEasy are commonly used to build RESTful APIs in Java-based environments.
