Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs like JAX-WS and JAX-RS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.

Apache Olingo is a Java library that implements the Open Data Protocol (OData). Apache Olingo serves client and server aspects of OData. It currently supports OData 2.0 and will also support OData 4.0. The latter is the OASIS version of the protocol.

Restlet Framework is the leading RESTful Web API framework for Java. It has powerful routing and filtering capabilities, unified client and server Java API, developers can build secure and scalable RESTful web APIs. It is available in editions for all major platforms (Java SE/EE, Google App Engine, OSGi, GWT, Android) and offers numerous extensions to fit the needs of all developers.

RESTX is the lightweight, modular, feature rich, blazing fast, open source Java REST framework. It shares similarities with modern frameworks like Play! like hot compile and a very productive experience, but focused on REST and pure Java.
 
It is focused more on Rest. This implies that it’s not a general web framework, i.e., there is no templating mechanism. It’s better use with a JavaScript framework on the client side, and you can always use any other templating mechanism to serve your pages.

Xenon is a framework for writing small REST-based services. (Some people call them microservices.) The runtime is implemented in Java and acts as the host for the lightweight, asynchronous services. The programming model is language agnostic (does not rely on Java specific constructs) so implementations in other languages are encouraged. The services can run on a set of distributed nodes. Xenon provides replication, synchronization, ordering, and consistency for the state of the services. Because of the distributed nature of Xenon, the services scale well and are highly available.
 
Xenon is a "batteries included" framework. Unlike some frameworks that provide just consistent data replication or just a microservice framework, Xenon provides both. Xenon services have REST-based APIs and are backed by a consistent, replicated document store.
 
The lightweight runtime enables the creation of highly available and scalable applications in the form of cooperating light weight services. The operation model for a cluster of Xenon nodes is the same for both on premise, and service deployments.

QEWD is a Node.js-based platform for developing and running interactive browser-based applications and Web/REST services. QEWD makes use of the ewd-qoper8 module to provide an isolated run-time environment for each of your message/request handler functions, meaning that your JavaScript handler functions can use synchronous, blocking APIs if you wish / prefer.

Gemini is a backend REST framework to automatically create CRUD REST APIs from scratch (with no coding), starting from a simple Schema definition called Gemini DSL. Gemini automatically handles creating all the storage and entity managers, Creating all the common REST methods and controller, OAuth2 // WIP authentication.

Spincast is a framework to serve as a backend for Single Page Applications (SPA), to develop old-school HTML generated websites or to be a REST API services platform. Spincast aims to feel more like a library than like a framework. It is not opinionated and favors configuration over convention. Its main goal is to give power to the developers. 

Spincast is an highly flexible and open source Java web framework, based on Guice
