Dropwizard introduction and REST APIs
- [Instructor] If you've never heard about Dropwizard, it's basically a Java framework to develop REST web services or APIs. Out of the box, it includes a bunch of modules that allows you to quickly put together a web service. The different pieces included are an HTTP server named Jetty, a RESTful web framework called Jersey, a JSON library for JVM called Jackson, and several other tools for metrics, logs, and validation. Having all these tools inside of one framework when you develop in Java allows you to quickly put together a web service without much fuss. This is what we'll explore in this course. So let's get to it, and move on to the next video.
