Representational State Transfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
by 3 othersRepresentational State Transfer (REST) is a collection of principles for managing information over a computer network like the world wide web.
While REST originally referred to a collection of architectural principles (described below), people now often use the term in a looser sense to describe any simple web-based interface that uses XML and HTTP without the extra abstractions of RPC-based approaches like the web services SOAP protocol.
