  What is REST? •Representational state transfer • It is a certain approach to creating Web Services. • To understand the REST design pattern, let's look at an example (learn by example). 12/8/2019 3

  REpresentational ? State? Transfer ? • It represent the state of database at a time. • A resource is accessed via a common interface based on the HTTP standard methods. • You typically have a REST server which provides access to the resources and a REST client which accesses and modifies the REST resources. 512/8/2019

  REpresentational ? State? Transfer ? Cont. • Every resource should support the HTTP common operations. Resources are identified by global IDs (which are typically URIs or URLs). • REST allows that resources have different representations, text, XML, JSON etc. • Stateless in nature. Excellent for distributed system. • Stateless components can be freely redeployed if something fails, and they can scale to accommodate load changes. • This is because any request can be directed to any instance of a component. 12/8/2019 6

  HTTP Methods HTTP MethodCRUD Operation Description POST INSERT Address to an existing resource PUT UPDATE Overrides existing resource GET SELECT Fetches a resource. The resource is never changed via a GET request DELETE DELETE Deletes a resource The PUT, GET, POST and DELETE methods are typically used in REST based architectures. The following table gives an explanation of these operations: 12/8/2019 7

  Advantage of RestAPI • It is usually simple to build and adapt. • Low use of resources. • Process instances are created explicitly. • With the initial URI, the client does not require routing information. • Clients can have a generic ‘listener’ interface for notifications. 12/8/2019 13

  Disadvantage of RestAPI • Restful web services are stateless • SOAP requires less plumbing code than REST services design. • REST allows a greater variety of data formats, whereas SOAP only allows XML. • REST provides superior performance, particularly through caching for information that’s not altered and not dynamic. • REST does not need much bandwidth when requests are sent to the server. Where SOAP requires more bandwidth for its usage. 12/8/2019 14

  Conclusion • REST isa type of data transfer that is built upon the architecture of the HTTP protocol. It allows you to easily send and retrieve data between two different services using XML or JSON. ... It's often good practice to plan out your RESTful collections and resources at the very outset. 12/8/2019 15
