What is REST?

 

What is REST?


REST is an architecture style definition applied to networked applications. It exists as a series of constraints applied to the implementation of network components, enabling uniform interface semantics, rather than application-specific implementations and syntax.


REST as a network architecture was first documented by Roy Fielding in his doctoral thesis titled 
Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures, published in 2000. REST allows clients to interact with data stored on a server, without having any prior knowledge of the server or what exists on it.
