## What it is
Eclipse Jetty is a lightweight, highly scalable Java web server and servlet container supporting HTTP/1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and WebSocket. It can be embedded in applications as a library or deployed standalone to serve web applications.

## Use cases
- embed a web server in a java application
- serve servlet-based web applications
- support http/2 and http/3 protocols in java
- build websocket servers and clients
- deploy war files to a lightweight servlet container
- run an asynchronous high-throughput http server

## When to choose
- you need an embeddable, low-latency java http server
- you want servlet or jakarta ee compatibility with modern protocols
- you need websocket support in the jvm ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need a non-jvm technology stack
- you want a full-featured application server with full jakarta ee platform certification

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: http-server, http-client, websocket, web-framework, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: servlet-container, http3, http2, embedded-server, jakarta-ee, osgi, async-io, eclipse-foundation, web-server
