REST - REpresentational State Transfer


REST is not a standard but an approach (specification) to developing and providing services on the internet. REST follows an architectural style of web application, like a user progressing through a web application by selecting links which takes him to the next page. REST is based on Resources that are identified by a unique URI.

When we conform to the standard or characteristic defined for a service to be REST, we can refer the service to be RESTful. REST does not tie itself to any particular platform, but is currently done on Web with HTTP.
