Kilo is an open-source framework for creating and consuming RESTful and REST-like web services in Java. It is extremely lightweight and requires only a Java runtime environment and a servlet container. The entire framework is less than 150KB in size, making it an ideal choice for applications where a minimal footprint is desired.

WebService is an abstract base class for web services. It extends HttpServlet and provides a thin, REST-oriented layer on top of the standard servlet API.

Service operations are defined by adding public methods to a concrete service implementation. Methods are invoked by submitting an HTTP request for a path associated with a service instance. Arguments may be provided via the query string, resource path, or request body. WebService converts the values to the expected types, invokes the method, and writes the return value (if any) to the output stream as JSON.

The RequestMethod annotation is used to associate a service method with an HTTP verb such as GET or POST. The optional ResourcePath annotation can be used to associate the method with a specific path relative to the servlet. If unspecified, the method is associated with the servlet itself.
