One of the coolest thing of REST is that the same resource can be accessed served using multiple Representationsrepresentations. @ProduceMime and @ConsumeMime annotations are used to declare the supported request and response media types.

JAXB support

To accept or return Objects that The request and response can be marshaled /unmarshaled using JAXB, the Objects need and unmarshaled to/from Java object using JAXB. The Java object needs to be marked with @XmlRootElement annotation. For example:

...

@UriTemplate("/customerservice/")
<Customer>
    <id>123</id>
    <name>John</name>
</Customer>

To return or accept Object work with collections, you need to define an Object object collection type. For example:

...

Following code returns a Customer Object object that is marshaled to JSON format:

...

{"Customer ":{"id":"123","name":"john"}}
{code:java}

h3. DOMSource support

You can also receive the request as a DOMSource object or return DOMSource object as response:

{code:java}
@UriTemplate("/bookstore/")
public class BookStore {
    @HttpMethod("GET")
    @UriTemplate("/customers/{customerId}/")
    public javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource getCustomer(@UriParam("customerId") String id) {
        ....
    }
}
