They're totally different things. This comparison would be like asking what the difference between tea and a teapot.

The REST API is an interface that allows software to talk to Jira.

The JRJC is software that talks to Jira over the REST interface.

Hi Nic Borough,

So if I want to use the rest api in my project it’s necessary that a include the both in my build file.

No. You don't need either of them included.

To use the REST API, make valid REST calls to Jira. JRJC is supposed to be a helper library to make understanding what you get back easier. For a lot of people it does. But you don't need it if you are willing to spend the time understanding the REST API Jira has.
