Annotation:



The popularity of REST (transfer of presentation state) in recent years has led to an incredible increase in the number of such APIs that can be called “almost-RESTful”, since they do not use many of the architectural advantages of this approach. After studying this practical guide, you will learn how to create convenient RESTful APIs that can evolve over time. This book, which focuses on such solutions, which are used in several subject areas at once, will help you create powerful and reliable applications with the help of tools designed for the most successful distributed system on the planet: the World Wide Web.
