Jakarta EE 10 provides new functionality in over 20 component specifications through version updates in the specified API. E.g:

• Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) 4.0, including CDI-Lite with support for build time scaling
• Jakarta RESTful Web Services 3.1 standardizes the Java SE Bootstrap API and supports multipart/form data
• Jakarta Security 3.0 supports new features in OpenID Connect and Jakarta Persistence queries and creates Jakarta Faces views using pure Java
• The Jakarta EE 10 release defines a new profile specification using the Jakarta EE Core Profile 10 that defines a multi-vendor platform for modern and lightweight Java applications and microservices.
• The new core profile provides a subset of the Jakarta EE specifications for smaller runtimes suitable for microservice development with a lightweight runtime, including the new CDI-Lite for building lightweight Jakarta EE applications specification.
• Jakarta Servlet 6.0 to simplify programming and improve security
• Jakarta Faces (JSF) 4.0 with modern API using CDI
• Jakarta JSON Binding (JSON-B) 3.0 adds support for polymorphic types
• Jakarta Persistence normalizes UUIDs as primitive types and extends query language and query API
• Jakarta Concurrency 3.0 moves to Web Profile, enhancing parallel and reactive programming models available to applications

Jakarta EE version 10 enables enterprises building modern cloud-native Java applications to:

• Develop and deploy Jakarta EE 10 applications on Java SE 11 and Java SE 17, the latest LTS releases of Java SE
• Take advantage of new features like the module system introduced in Java SE 9 and supported in Java SE 11
• This release simplifies application development by supporting wider use of additional annotations, makes building modular applications easier, and provides improved integration across component APIs.
• This release helps developers more easily implement applications with modern security requirements and removes deprecated APIs, while also maintaining a high degree of compatibility with previous Jakarta EE releases.

In addition to these enhancements, there is a growing list of compatible products to support an already rich ecosystem. For example, Eclipse GlassFish 7, Open Liberty, 22.0.0.10-beta, and Wild Fly 27.0.0 are currently offering compatible versions.
