Restlet Framework
The first REST API framework for Java, offering a unified approach to building web clients and servers with minimal dependencies.
What is Restlet Framework?
Restlet Framework is a REST API framework for Java that provides a unified approach to building both web clients and servers. It was the first open-source project to embrace REST in the Java world, offering an alternative to the Servlet API and JAX-RS with a design that closely matches REST architectural principles.
Java developers building RESTful web services, microservices, or web applications who want a framework that directly implements REST concepts with minimal dependencies.
Developers choose Restlet Framework for its mature, unified API that works for both client and server development, its minimal footprint suitable for microservices, and its direct alignment with REST architectural principles rather than traditional Java web patterns.
