JAX-RS and Apache CXF

I am new to Webservices, I am confused about the JAX-RS and apache CXF

What i read is that JAX-RS is API and Apache CXF is implementation of JAX-RS

JAX-RS is not specification , Is it possible to direclty use JAX-RS to build REST services?

Please correct me if I am wrong

Regards

JAX-RS is a specification. The binaries provided by it only contain Interface definitions but no implementations.

The default implementation of JAX-RS is Jersey. It provides implementations plus additional features.

Apache CXF and Restlet are other implementations of JAX-RS that provide different additional features.
