Document Summary
Describes method of defining resources as urls and actions on those resources with http methods. Http methods as verbs on those nouns. Url - something you know (you type it in) Locations (where we get our information ) Pattern of the actions we might perform on a resource or piece of data. Simple idea but often the heart of apps built for business applications. Restful = in the spirit of rest than strictly conforming. No or few http verbs (mostly gets) Verb/action focused urls as opposed to entity/resource urls. Endpoints that do more than the typical crud actions or consolidate actions. Have to orchestrate many endpoints - just send to a giant api which will sort things out (aka a single endpoint) Submitted values should be sent in message body w/ appropriate content-type header: // creates a new book x-www-form-urlencoded or json. Note: cannot fall back if you go json!
