needed to harness this popular technology for the back-end development.
• It also covers the concepts of stateless transfer. RESTful API design and
implementations that follow the JAX-RS standard.
• Build and consume JAX-RS services using JSON and XML, and integrate
RESTful API with different data sources like relational databases, NoSQL
databases, and REST wrappers for SOAP Web services through hands-on
labs.
