vertxrs

The combination of JAX-RS and Vert.x comes with a few advantages over conventional Servlet containers.

• Everybody knows JAX-RS.
• Fast and asynchronous by nature.
• Very few dependencies and only a few megabytes in size.
• Unnoticeable application startup time.
• Static file serving support for web resources.
• SockJs and Websocket support.
• Java 8 and reactive programming friendly.
• Simple API for writing extremely fast zero-copy TCP clients and servers.
• Clustered, language neutral event bus for IPC and server communication.

Example

Maven dependency.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.deephacks.vertxrs</groupId>
  <artifactId>vertxrs</artifactId>
  <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

Register a JAX-RS resource and start the server.

@Path("/rest")
public class Resource {
  @GET @Path("/foo")  public String foo() { return "bar"; }
}

VertxRsServer.newBuilder().withResource(new Resource()).build().start();
