Represental State Transfer

Glossary Page

REST is an architectural style for web applications that is independent of specific data formats. REST is based on the four HTTP methods: GET, POST, UPDATE, and DELETE. In addition to using HTTP, REST can also be used with CoAP (Constraint Application Protocol), enabling the direct integration of embedded systems with limited resources into REST-based applications. In the realm of the Internet of Things, REST is used to implement platform-independent Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
