What is REST API

                               What is REST API

A RESTful API is a method of allowing communication between a web-based client and server that employs representational state transfer (REST) constraints in another way we can say that. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a way of accessing the web services. REST as an architecture style does not require processing and is more simple and flexible than SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) which is another standards-based Web services access protocol developed by Microsoft. REST is much easier and more widely used than SOAP (about 70% web services API uses REST API)
