Front End Web Developer Question:

REST stands for Representational State Transfer, an architectural style that has largely been adopted as a best practice for building web and mobile applications. RESTful services are designed to be lightweight, easy to maintain, and scaleable. They are typically based on the HTTP protocol, make explicit use of HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), are stateless, use intuitive URIs, and transfer XML/JSON data between the server and the client.
