Representational State Transfer
Standard design architecture for developing web API
REST is a stateless client-server relationship;
There is no client context being stored server side (no Sessions).
Each request contains all the necessary for the server to authenticate the user, and any session state data.
In REST we have the ( Create, Read, Update, Delete) Methods
GET – Used for basic read requests to the server
PUT- Used to modify an existing object on the server
POST- Used to create a new object on the server
DELETE – Used to remove an object on the server
