Difference between spring-boot-starter-web and spring-boot-starter-web-services and spring-boot-starter-jersey

Question

Could you someone please assist me knowing the Difference between spring-boot-starter-web VS spring-boot-starter-web-services VS spring-boot-starter-jersey

The documentation says Starter for building RESTful web applications using JAX-RS and Jersey. An alternative to spring-boot-starter-web

Thanks

Answer 1

• spring-boot-starter-web -> Services on Tomcat - typically REST services using Spring MVC for web layer
• spring-boot-starter-jersey -> Services on Tomcat - typically REST services using Jersey implementation of JAX-RS for web layer
• spring-boot-starter-web-services -> SOAP services

I highly recommend inspecting these POMs if you are familiar with Maven. Code answers your questions better than thousand SO answers.
