In addition to JAX-RS standard providers (refer to section 4.2 of the JAX-RS specification), Apache Wink provides a set of complementary providers. The purpose of these providers is to provide mapping services between various representations ( for example Atom, APP, OpenSearch, CSV, JSON and HTML) , and their associated Java data models.
The Apache Wink providers are pre-registered and delivered with the Apache Wink runtime along with the JAX-RS standard providers.
Apache Wink provides an additional method for defining the life cycle of a provider via the use of the @Scope annotation and a way to define the providers priorities.
