InfoQ: A Brief Introduction to REST

    • Key REST principles


      Most introductions to REST start with the formal definition and background. I’ll defer this for a while and provide a simplified, pragmatic definition: REST is a set of principles that define how Web standards, such as HTTP and URIs, are supposed to be used (which often differs quite a bit from what many people actually do). The promise is that if you adhere to REST principles while designing your application, you will end up with a system that exploits the Web’s architecture to your benefit. In summary, the five key principles are:

      • Give every “thing” an ID
      • Link things together
      • Use standard methods
      • Resources with multiple representations
      • Communicate statelessly
