REST
Representational State Transfer
Definition
REST is an architectural style for designing web APIs based on HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and resource-oriented URLs. RESTful APIs are stateless, cacheable, and use standard HTTP status codes.
REST's simplicity and broad tooling support make it the dominant pattern for public APIs, though gRPC and GraphQL are gaining adoption for specific use cases.
