RESTEasy Overview Downloads Documentation Community Blog Dark RESTEasy RESTEasy is a Commonhaus project that provides various frameworks to help you build RESTful Web Services and RESTful Java applications. It is an implementation of the Jakarta RESTful Web Services, an Eclipse Foundation specification that provides a Java API for RESTful Web Services over the HTTP protocol. Moreover, RESTEasy also implements the MicroProfile REST Client specification API. RESTEasy can run in any Servlet container, but tighter integration with WildFly Application Server and Quarkus is also available to make the user experience nicer in those environments. Features Implements Jakarta RESTful Web Services Portable to Tomcat and many other application servers Embeddable server implementation for JUnit testing Enhanced client framework Client "Browser" cache. Supports HTTP 1.1 caching semantics, including cache revalidation Server in-memory cache. Local response cache. Automatically handles ETag generation and cache revalidation Rich set of providers for XML, JSON, YAML, Fastinfoset, Multipart, XOP, Atom, etc. JAXB marshalling into XML, JSON, Jackson, Fastinfoset, and Atom as well as wrappers for maps, arrays, lists, and sets of JAXB Objects.

Perkins | February 19, 2025 As with other projects, like WildFly, RESTEasy has been looking at moving to a vendor-neutral software foundation. Our hope is that by doing this we can further expand our community, improve our openness and transparency, refresh our governance model, and encourage more participation by contributors not affiliated with Red Hat. As of recently we've moved some projects out of the default RESTEasy repository into their own repository. This gives us the ability to...
