What is Apache CXF?

Apache CXF™ is an open-source framework designed for building services efficiently. It supports the development of services through various frontend programming APIs such as JAX-WS and JAX-RS. Services created with CXF can communicate using a wide array of protocols, including SOAP, RESTful HTTP, XML/HTTP, and CORBA, and can function across different transports like HTTP, JMS, or JBI. Although CXF is packed with numerous features, its primary focus is on supporting web service standards and frontend interfaces. It encompasses a broad spectrum of web service standards, including SOAP, the WS-I Basic Profile, WSDL, and other specifications like WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-SecureConversation, and a partial implementation of WS-Trust. Furthermore, CXF offers support for multiple frontend programming models and delivers a complete implementation of the JAX-WS APIs, incorporating enhancements that improve usability beyond the reference implementation. A standout feature of CXF is its ability to automatically generate code for request and response bean classes, which enhances the development process and increases efficiency. This automation not only streamlines the workflow but also minimizes the risk of errors that can occur during manual coding, ultimately contributing to a more reliable service development experience. As a result, developers often find CXF to be a valuable tool for creating robust and scalable web services.
