What is REST? REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architectural style for designing and developing APIs that could be used for client and server interactions. REST defines 6 architectural constraints for APIs: Uniform interface: API requests for a resource should look the same irrespective of its origin client. The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) allocated to resources should be unique. Client-server: Changes on the client side should not affect the server and vice-versa. Stateless: The API request should contain all the resources required to process it. The server should not store any details related to client requests. Cacheable: API Responses could be cached on the client or server side. Layered system: Neither the client nor the server should have information regarding the number of intermediate layers during communication. Code on demand (optional): When required, code snippets sent through API responses should be executable on demand. APIs that comply with REST architecture constraints are called RESTful APIs. ...
