In Detail

REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is a simple yet powerful software architecture style to create scalable web services and allow them to be simple, lightweight, and fast. The REST API uses HTTP and JSON, so that it can be used with many programming languages such as Ruby, Java, Python, and Scala. Its use in Java seems to be the most well liked though, on account of the API’s reusability.

This book is a guide to developing RESTful web services in Java the usage of the popular RESTful framework APIs available today. You’ll begin with gaining an in-depth knowledge of the RESTful software architectural style and its relevance in modern applications. Further, You’ll understand the APIs to parse, generate, turn out to be, and query JSON effectively. Then, You’ll see how to build a simple RESTful service the usage of the popular JAX-RS 2.0 API at the side of some real-world examples. This book will introduce you to the Jersey framework API, which is used to simplify your web services.

You will also see how to protected your services with quite a lot of authentication mechanisms. You’ll get to grips with quite a lot of solutions to describe, produce, consume, and visualize RESTful web services. After all, You’ll see how to design your web services to equip them for the future technological advances, be it Cloud or mobile computing.

By the end of this book, it is possible for you to to efficiently build robust, scalable, and protected RESTful web services, making use of the JAX-RS and Jersey framework extensions.
