An overview of REST

REST is an acronym that stands for Representational State Transfer. REST is a set of principles for designing networked applications. It’s used to build services that can be accessed over the web. When you hear about REST in the context of web and mobile development, it often relates to RESTful APIs or services, which allow different software systems to communicate with each other over the internet.

The phrase Representational State Transfer is used because, in REST, the state of a resource (such as an object, file, or service) is transferred through representations (typically JSON or XML data formats). When you interact with a web service using REST, you’re essentially transferring a representation of the state of that resource between the client and the server. This allows a standardized way of interacting with web services, simplifying the creation and use of APIs.

To summarize, a RESTful service has the following properties:
