A REST API is a way of easily accessing web services. When a RESTful API is called, the server will transfer to the client a representation of the state of the requested resource. A RESTful API is stateless, separates concerns between client-server, allows caching of data client-side and it utilizes standardized base URLs and methods to perform the actions required to manipulate, add or delete data.
