Can Node.js been seen as RESTful Services implementation framework and a competitor for Jersey and Apache CFX REST services implementation?

Not I'm afraid.

NodeJS for REST libs is like Java for Jersey or Apache.

you might find the connect-rest, express, restify libs as corresponding solutions for RESTing.

"Seen as"? Probably not. "Used to implement"? I'll bet it could. I'm not familiar with those buzzwords, but node is a JavaScript runtime environment well suited for creating servers, so you could probably write code to implement what you want, and even find existing modules to help you do so.

Sorry for the late reply. You should check out http://loopback.io/. Some of the ideas are inspired by JAX-RS and we try to make it easy to build REST apis using Node.
