REST<\/p>\n
Here is an excerpt from the Wikipedia:<\/p>\n
Unlike\u00a0SOAP<\/a>-based web services, there is no “official” standard for RESTful web APIs. This is because REST is an architectural style, while SOAP is a protocol. REST is not a standard in itself, but RESTful implementations make use of standards, such as\u00a0HTTP<\/a>,\u00a0URI<\/a>,\u00a0JSON<\/a>, and\u00a0XML<\/a>. Many developers describe their APIs as being RESTful, even though these APIs do not fulfill all of the architectural constraints described above (especially the uniform interface constraint).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
