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
• Undertow (V2 only)
• In-Memory
• Very flexible / extensible
  • You can new up the Application and reach in and replace any dependency for a test
• Super simple SSL setup support
• 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
