REST API

REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for designing networked APIs around resources. Each resource is identified by a URL, manipulated through standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and represented in formats like JSON. RESTful APIs are stateless, meaning each request contains all the information the server needs to process it.

Use Cases

  • •Designing backend APIs that serve data to web and mobile frontends
  • •Building CRUD operations for managing database entities through HTTP endpoints
  • •Integrating third-party services through their RESTful API interfaces
  • •Creating microservices that communicate over well-defined resource boundaries
