The framework is packaged with a Server module and a Client module.

They can be used for developing and consuming RESTful Web services.

The Wink Server module is a complete implementation of the JAX-RS v1.1 specification.

The Wink Client module is a Java based framework that provides functionality for communicating with RESTful Web services.

The framework is built on top of the JDK HttpURLConnection and adds essential features that facilitate the development of such client applications.
