+### API's and things we've come across
+
+# Maven
+Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. It can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. It is used for building and managing Jav-based projects
+# Gradle
+Gradle is a build automation tool that is designed to be flexible enough to build almost any type of software. it uses domain-specific language (DSL) instead of the XML form used by Apache Maven 
+# Spring
+Spring is a framework for dependency-injection which is a pattern that allows to build very decoupled systems.
+# Tomcat
+Tomcat is a Java Servlet Container. It implements several Java EE specifications including Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages (JSP), Java EL, and WebSocket, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment in which Java code can run.
+# Jersey
+A standard portable JAX-RS API made to simplify development of RESTful Web Services.
