REST APIs

Web Development

REST APIs (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interfaces) are web service interfaces that enable applications to communicate over HTTP using standard methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to interact with resources identified by URLs. They are stateless and commonly exchange data in JSON format, making them a foundational technology for connecting front-end clients, mobile apps, and third-party services to backend systems. Software engineers building web and cloud applications routinely design, document, and consume REST APIs.
