For doing requests: Java has HttpClient built-in since JDK 11. (In older JDK versions you only get HttpURLConnection, which is not fun to work with directly.) If JDK HttpClient doesn’t serve your needs, check out Apache HttpClient, Jetty HttpClient or Reactor Netty HttpClient.

For receiving requests: the JDK has a simple HttpServer API. For anything slightly serious I’d consider embedding Tomcat, Jetty or Reactor Netty.

I would personally use an application framework like Spring Boot or Quarkus, which typically provides integrations like these out of the box, but this might be overkill for your use case.
