JSRs: Java Specification Requests


JSRs by Platform

Certain JSRs are part of one or more of the platforms: collections of standards that comprise the three Java editions: Standard, Enterprise and Micro. Many JSRs are not part of the platform, but rather augment that platform; those JSRs are not listed on this page. This page lists the JSRs that comprise the various versions of the three platform editions.

Java EE (47 JSRs) | Java SE (60 JSRs) | Java ME (85 JSRs)

Java EE

The Java Enterprise Edition offers APIs and tools for developing multitier enterprise applications. The JSRs in this list are part of the Java EE platform as component or umbrella JSRs.
