Introduction to RESTful APIs
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style used to build web services.
RESTful APIs allow communication between client and server using standard HTTP
methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.
A REST API is stateless, meaning each request contains all the information required to
process it. REST commonly uses JSON format for data exchange because it is lightweight
and easy to parse.
In modern software development, RESTful APIs are widely used in web and mobile
applications. Frameworks like [Link] Core provide built-in support for creating RESTful
services efficiently.
REST improves scalability, flexibility, and maintainability of distributed systems.
