JAX-RS (Java API for RESTful Web Services)

JAX-RS (Java API for RESTful Web Services) is a set of Java tools designed to simplify the creation of web services that can be accessed over the internet. It enables developers to build programs that respond to requests using standard web protocols, making it easy to create APIs for apps or services. JAX-RS handles tasks like processing requests, sending responses, and managing data formats, allowing developers to focus on the core functionality without worrying about low-level communication details. Essentially, it streamlines the development of reliable, scalable web services in Java.
