Apache CXF vs Karyon

Apache CXF vs Karyon: What are the differences?

Developers describe Apache CXF as "An open source services framework". It helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS and JAX-RS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI. On the other hand, Karyon is detailed as "The nucleus or the base container for Applications and Services built using the NetflixOSS ecosystem". At Netflix, Karyon is a framework and library that essentially contains the blueprint of what it means to implement a cloud ready web service. All the other fine grained web services and applications that form our SOA graph can essentially be thought as being cloned from this basic blueprint.

Apache CXF and Karyon can be primarily classified as "Composable Web Service Framework" tools.

Karyon is an open source tool with 479 GitHub stars and 161 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Karyon's open source repository on GitHub.
