Dropwizard is a Java framework for developing ops-friendly, high-performance, RESTful web services. It pulls together stable, mature libraries from the Java ecosystem into a simple, light-weight package that lets you focus on getting things done. 
 
Dropwizard has out-of-the-box support for sophisticated configuration, application metrics, logging, operational tools, and much more, allowing you and your team to ship a production-quality web service in the shortest time possible.
 
Dropwizard straddles the line between being a library and a framework. Its goal is to provide performant, reliable implementations of everything a production-ready web application needs. Because this functionality is extracted into a reusable library, your application remains lean and focused, reducing both time-to-market and maintenance burdens.

Swagger is a powerful open source framework backed by a large ecosystem of tools that helps you design, build, document, and consume your RESTful APIs. The goal of Swagger is to define a standard, language-agnostic interface to REST APIs which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection.

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.
