SegREST

SegREST is a software framework designed to facilitate the development of RESTful web services. It provides a set of tools and libraries that simplify the creation, management, and consumption of RESTful APIs. The framework is built on top of the Java programming language and leverages the Spring ecosystem, making it particularly well-suited for Java developers.

One of the key features of SegREST is its ability to automatically generate RESTful endpoints from Java classes and methods. This is achieved through annotations, which allow developers to define the behavior of their APIs in a declarative manner. For example, the @GetMapping annotation can be used to specify that a particular method should handle GET requests, while the @PostMapping annotation can be used for POST requests.

SegREST also includes built-in support for data validation and error handling. Developers can use annotations such as @NotNull and @Size to specify validation constraints on request parameters and payloads. If a request does not meet these constraints, SegREST will automatically generate an appropriate error response.

Another notable feature of SegREST is its support for content negotiation. This allows clients to specify the desired format of the response, such as JSON or XML, and SegREST will automatically serialize the response data in the appropriate format. This makes it easy to create APIs that can be consumed by a wide range of clients, regardless of their preferred data format.

SegREST is open-source and available under the Apache License 2.0. It has a large and active community of developers who contribute to its ongoing development and improvement. The framework is well-documented, with comprehensive guides and tutorials available to help developers get started with SegREST and build robust RESTful web services.
