RESTEasy beyond JAX-RS 2.1: reactive, non-blocking IO and more
summary
RESTEasy extends JAX-RS 2.1 with concrete reactive support: server and client providers return CompletionStage and RxJava types so resources can return Single, Flowable, Observable directly and the runtime automatically suspends and resumes requests. Built-in stream providers implement backpressure via Flowable, and a NetStream/SSE/raw modes annotation controls wire format. Non‑blocking I/O is available by plugging the Apache async HTTP engine, synchronous filters and injectors can suspend/resume, and proxy clients support reactive return types out of the box.
