REST
Description of REST
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for interaction between systems based on web standards and the HTTP protocol. REST is resource-oriented: each resource is represented by a URL and can be handled using standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and others. This approach makes it possible to build scalable and maintainable web services.
RESTful APIs provide independence between client and server, making it possible to evolve both sides of a system separately. This is especially important in fast-moving software environments. REST is widely used in mobile app development, web interfaces, microservices, and distributed systems. It enables rapid integration between different components and platforms, reducing implementation complexity.
