Java framework for Rest API?

API Q&A
1

Hi,

Is there a Java framework for the REST API?

If not, what would be the best third party client libraries to use to simplify REST integration?

Thanks Robert.

I don’t believe there is a framework per se, but using REST, you should be able to do quite a bit.

The major Java SDKs have not been updated for REST, but they do work with XML/RPC. Depending on the infrastructure of your Java application you choices for REST are quite good. Do you have a Spring App? If so we use RestTemplate within Spring.

We also use Feign, which is from Netflix.
