www.dropwizard.iorepositorydocs
Dropwizard is a Java framework for RESTful web services. It bundles Jetty for HTTP, Jersey for REST resources, Jackson for JSON and Logback for logging into one application package. A project is set up with Maven, built into a jar, and started with the server command, which runs the application as an HTTP server. HTML views use FreeMarker or Mustache. The Dropwizard Team maintains it.
Worth knowing
The current line requires a newer Java than earlier ones, per the getting-started guide. Older lines still receive maintenance releases.
