What is REST?
The acronym REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer, this basically means that each unique URL is a representation of some object.
In the web services world, REpresentational State Transfer (REST) is a key design idiom that embraces a stateless client-server architecture in which the web services are viewed as resources and can be identified by their URLs. Web service clients that want to use these resources can get a content of using HTTP GET, modify the content using HTTP POST or HTTP UPDATE or delete the resource using HTTP DELETE.
