REST

REST Architectural Style

Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style originally defined by Roy Fielding. REST provides six guiding constraints: client-server separation, statelessness, cacheability, uniform interface, layered system, and optional code-on-demand. Any API conforming to these constraints is considered RESTful.
