Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS)

Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) is a set of tools and protocols that enable Java applications to create, publish, and consume web services. These web services allow different applications to communicate over the internet by exchanging structured data, often using XML. JAX-WS simplifies the development process by handling the complexities of messaging, data formatting, and network communication, making it easier for developers to build interoperable services that can be accessed across various platforms and languages.
