RESTEasy is a JBoss.org project aimed at providing productivity frameworks for developing client and server RESTful applications and services in Java. It is mainly a Jakarta RESTful Web Services implementation but you'll find some other experimental code in the repository.

The project page can be found at https://resteasy.dev.

RESTEasy is a JBoss project that provides various frameworks to help you build RESTful Web Services and RESTful Java applications. It is a portable implementation of the Jakarta RESTful Web Services specification. The Jakarta RESTful Web Services provides a Java API for RESTful Web Services over the HTTP protocol.

• Read a book
• Check out the examples in the repository.
• Read the documentation.
• View the blogs.

To read the documentation you can read it online.

Issues are kept in JIRA.

Currently, RESTEasy requires JDK 11+.

If you want to build the project without running the tests, you need to pull down a clone of the RESTEasy repository and run:

$ ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests=true

If you want to build the project with testings run, you may need to specify a profile to use, and may need to configure the WildFly version you want to run the tests with. Here is an example:

$ SERVER_VERSION=27.0.0.Final ./mvnw clean -fae -Dserver.version=$SERVER_VERSION install
