Hi George, Regarding the support of the JAX-RS API, we definitely don't pretend to be as complete as Jersey which is the Reference Implementation. Also, we can't seem to have access to their TCK despite the fact that we are an open source project, so we don't know precisely what is missing for our implementation.
However, our extension (mainly developed with Stephan Koops) is already quite good and there are relatively few issues pending in our tracker. One advantage of using it is that is can also work in Google App Engine, which isn't the case for Jersey, AFAIK. It also has a nice integration with the Restlet API. The Restlet API is an alternative RESTful API which predates JAX-RS and which is quickly evolving. We are currently designing its version 2.0, which will embrace the best learned from JAX-RS (annotation-oriented) with the best of our classic Restlet 1.1 API (class-oriented). Our Restlet API also many advantages like having a much broader features scope (http://www.restlet.org/about/features), being multi-protocols, having uniform client-side and server-side support (even for annotated interfaces) and many extensions! Of course, like many technological choices, it will depend on your requirements and constraints. If you give us more details about your project, we might be able to give more precise arguments.

It is also available as Restlet extension, but the Restlet impolementation is only nearly ready. best regards Stephan George Thiruva schrieb: > Hi, > > I'm evaluating Restlet and other REST API's (notably Jersey) and I was wondering if anyone has come across any comparisons of Restlet versus the others. > > I've stumbled across some old information from 2008.
