"The Restlet library was useful in providing structure to the project and helped me to conceive the underlying objects and concepts as a set of resources which could be exposed and combined in various ways, as well as providing a reliable implementation to coordinate the resources in a distributed system."

Jeffrey S. Miller, Google Inc.


"Restlet really has been wonderful to work with on this project and has greatly eased and sped development. I'm looking forward to finding other projects where it would be well-suited!"

"Restlet is amongst the most interesting and exciting projects I'm aware of in the Java world currently and I would be delighted to recommend it to anyone."

Christopher Townson, Nature Publishing Group


"We use Restlet on 6 projects, with 3 already in production. We found it easy to learn, quick to code, reliable and fast."

Sean Landis, Overstock.com


"The Restlet API and the consequences it has on the way you design your application are just quite amazing. This was a joy to write!"

Alex Milowski, Smallx


"Restlets are a joy to code, and the code base is easy to understand once you see a few Restlets coded. Albert Einstein said, 'Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.' I hope you agree with me that the Restlet framework and REST itself exemplify this mantra's wisdom."

Andrew Glover, Stelligent


"I've been developing in Java since 1997 and have used virtually all of the major (and many minor) frameworks in that time.

I think Restlet is far and away the best in terms of providing the most minimally elegant/clean API and providing a means of developing massively productively especially when paired with say Freemarker.

I was working on a small project using Wicket but since switching to Restlet I will not be going back. Restlet makes java development productive, fun, and places no real framework burden on a developer."

Matt Watson


"Restlet is simply amazing. I have been doing the same things in a hacky way for over 6 years... what a relief. Really. kudos."
