RESTful, or representational state transfer, is a style of software architecture for distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web.
Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture for distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web.
REST attempts to describe architectures that use HTTP or similar protocols by constraining the interface to a set of well-known, standard operations (like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE for HTTP). Here, the focus is on interacting with stateless resources, rather than messages or operations.
