    There are very few frameworks that I would personally recommend: the Servlet API and JAX-RS are pretty much the only ones I consider decent. I personally avoid JAX-RS because of https://github.com/jakartaee/rest/issues/468 and because you can replace most of its functionality using ~5-10 custom classes.

    Have you never used the Servlet API? JPA? Those validation annotations from the javax.validation package? JAX-RS to define REST Endpoints? CDI for dependency injection?
