33. REST
RESTful web services are built to work best on the
Web. Representational State Transfer (REST) is an
architectural style that specifies constraints, such as the
uniform interface, that if applied to a web service induce
desirable properties, such as performance, scalability,
and modifiability, that enable services to work best on
the Web. In the REST architectural style, data and
functionality are considered resources and are accessed
using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), typically
links on the Web. The resources are acted upon by using
a set of simple, well-defined operations. The REST
architectural style constrains an architecture to a
client/server architecture and is designed to use a
stateless communication protocol, typically HTTP. In the
REST architecture style, clients and servers exchange
representations of resources by using a standardized
interface and protocol.
