Easiest frameworks to implement Java REST web services
java, jersey, rest, restlet, web-services
Solution
Restlet sounds like it should provide what you're looking for:
- Support for client and server (in a relatively symmetric api)
- Smart url binding
- mime type understanding (given accepted mime types, it will ask your resources for their representation in that type)
- Supports JAX-RS annotations (just like Jersey)
Problem
What are the best frameworks for implementing both client and server REST frameworks in Java? I've been struggling a little to find an easy to use solution. Update: Both Jersey and Restlet seem like good options. We'll probably use Restlet but we'll experiment with both.
