REST

REST is an architectural style for designing networked applications, particularly web services, that emphasizes a client-server model and stateless communication. It relies on standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to perform operations on resources, which are represented as URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers). RESTful APIs adhere to principles such as statelessness, uniform interface, and resource-based interactions, enabling scalable, interoperable, and maintainable systems.

REST is the predominant architectural style for building web APIs, providing a flexible and standardized approach to designing and interacting with distributed systems. RESTful APIs are widely adopted in web development, mobile app development, and cloud computing, enabling seamless integration and interoperability between different systems and platforms. Proficiency in REST is essential for software engineers and web developers involved in designing, implementing, and consuming web APIs.

I have basic knowledge of REST principles and can design simple RESTful APIs. I understand the concepts of resources, URIs, and HTTP methods in RESTful API design. I can implement basic CRUD operations and handle simple HTTP status codes. While I continue to learn about more advanced topics such as authentication, versioning, and pagination in RESTful API development, I am actively improving my skills in REST to create more scalable and interoperable web services.
