Scope:

Eclipse Project for JAX-RS provides the API and TCK for Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS), starting from the specification defined by JSR-370.

An implementation for JAX-RS is part of the proposal for Eclipse Jersey.

The top level EE4J project was created consistent with the direction described in The Eclipse Enterprise for Java Project Top Level Project Charter (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j/charter). This project is created under the top level EE4J project as one of Oracle Java EE 8 and GlassFish technologies being transitioned to the Eclipse Foundation.
