REST

Brief intro

REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer.

It means when a RESTful API is called, the server will transfer to the client a representation of the state of the requested resource.

History of Protocols

Principles of REST:

  • Client-Server
  • Uniform interface:
    • Resource identification
    • Resource Manipulation using representations
    • Self-descriptive messages
    • Hypermedia as the engine of application state
