**APIs profiled:** 1

Eclipse GlassFish is the open-source reference implementation of the Jakarta EE platform, formerly owned by Sun/Oracle and now stewarded by the Eclipse Foundation. GlassFish is a lightweight Java application server that ships a full Jakarta EE runtime (Servlet, JAX-RS, CDI, JPA, EJB, WebSocket, JMS, Concurrency, etc.) and exposes a built-in REST management API on the DAS (Domain Administration Server) for administering domains, applications, resources, monitoring data, and configuration. The management API is part of the server itself rather than a public hosted service.
