I am currently working on migration work from SOAP to Rest consumption. I want to know

what is the best api for rest client (in my case there is no spring and Java version is 1.5)
Does JAX-RS or Apache CXF supports Java 1.5 if so what would be the version of those for dependency??

Are you really sure that you want to work with Java 1.5? It is quite old. – werner Apr 20 '18 at 14:16

If you haven't worked so far with any REST-API, I would suggest to start with Jackson and JAX-RS. They are pretty much de facto standard.
JAX-RS was introduced in Java EE 6. (Java API for RESTful Web Services). Hence, JAX-RS is not part of Java 1.5. About Apache CXF, it is compatible with Java 1.5. CanCXFrunwithJDK1.5
