A REST API (Representational State Transfer API) is a web service that follows REST architectural principles. It uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to perform operations on resources identified by URLs. REST APIs are stateless, meaning each request contains all the information needed to process it, and they typically return data in JSON format.
REST APIs are the most widely used approach for building web services. Their simplicity, scalability, and reliance on standard HTTP make them easy to understand, implement, and consume. Nearly every modern web and mobile application relies on REST APIs for data exchange between the frontend and backend.
