Another REST library for Java inspired by the good bits in JSR-311
This project is the Java rewrite of WebFabric
Some of the core features
- Configuration in code (no xml)
- No static state (i.e. easily testable unlike Play)
- Multiple [Containers web containers] support:
- Servlets (Tomcat, Jetty tested)
- Jetty in embedded mode
- SimpleWeb
- Embedded HttpServer from Java 6
- In-Memory
- Very flexible / extensible
- You can new up the Application and reach in and replace any dependency for a test
- Uniform client / server API (like Restlet)
- Composition preferred over class inheritance (unlike Restlet)
- Resources can be defined with Annotations, DSL, static files or role your own convention
- By using the DSL you can even bind a HTTP method directly to a 3rd party Java class
- Very fast startup times (around 1ms)
- Request and Response can be 'new'd up, 'toString'd and parsed
- Resources can consume and return Requests and Responses or any Java classes
- Renderers can be registered for any response object
