Web services for Java applications based on the REST architectural style allow you to communicate with external apps in a standardized and scalable manner independent of the programming language. This course demonstrates using the Jersey framework to build REST APIs in Java.
Begin by implementing a simple method that returns data in response to a GET request. While doing so, explore the use of Jersey annotations to construct a URL to a particular web method and set it to respond to GET requests.
As you advance, construct a response to incoming requests that includes HTTP status codes. Furthermore, examine the transmission of Java objects in the form of JSON structures as a response to an HTTP request.
When you're done, you'll be able to use Java to build RESTful applications that can respond to HTTP GET requests.
