Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS)

Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) is a set of tools provided by Java that helps developers create web services following the REST architecture. REST, or Representational State Transfer, is a way for applications to communicate over the internet using standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. JAX-RS simplifies the process of building these services by offering annotations and classes that manage requests and responses, making it easier to expose data and functionalities of applications for use in web and mobile environments. It promotes interoperability and scalability in modern software development.
