Resting Reapers By Camil Ressu 1966 Romanian Stamp
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architectural style that was created to describe the design and guide the development of the architecture for the World Wide Web. REST defines a set of constraints for how the architecture of a distributed, Internet-scale hypermedia system, such as the Web, should behave. The REST architectural style emphasises uniform interfaces, independent deployment of components, the scalability of interactions between them, and creating a layered architecture to promote caching to reduce user-perceived latency, enforce security, and encapsulate legacy systems. REST has been employed throughout the software industry to create stateless, reliable, web-based applications. An application that adheres to the REST architectural constraints may be informally described as ''RESTful'', although this term is more commonly associated with the design of HTTP-based APIs and what are widely considered best practices regarding the "verbs" ( HTTP ...
