I am a c++ and C# developer. I would like to try use jersey + jetty to create restful web services. I am wondering what does jersey gives in additional to just using JAX-RS library from java? Does the XML declarative web service count?

Maybe [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/29151500/2587435l) will help with your confusion. If you want to know everything Jersey offers, that is not in the spec, that question is too broad to answer (and should be closed), but you can read the [JAX-RS spec](https://jax-rs-spec.java.net/) and compare with the entire [Jersey documentation](https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/index.html) – Paul Samsotha May 11 '15 at 10:09

Jersey is an implementation of the JAX-RS standard. In fact, what is great in jersey is the support of multiple containers and an embedded mode for testing purpose. I love jersey for that, and recommand it for that. The community is really active and now jersey is +2.16 and really stable, production ready. as far as you're a C++ / C# dev, you should take a framework that is closer to your base skills / languages and use webApi http://www.asp.net/web-api – jeorfevre May 11 '15 at 23:21
