Introduction to the REST API Fields

REST, or (REpresentational State Transfer), is an architecture for developing web services. It enables communication between a client and server using HTTP protocols.

REST-compliant machines communicate with each other using

stateless messaging

. Stateless messaging is a loosely coupled connection between a client and server, where each message is self-contained. This connection enables the client and server to communicate without first establishing a communication channel and without managing the state between systems.

platform.
