Build scalable, stateless APIs following REST principles
REST (Representational State Transfer) is the most popular API architecture, using standard HTTP methods and JSON for communication. RESTful APIs are simple, scalable, and work with any client that speaks HTTP. From mobile apps to web frontends, REST APIs power modern applications at Twitter, GitHub, and Stripe.
Simple, scalable, universal—REST APIs are the standard for web services.
Simple: Easy to understand and implement
Stateless: Scalable and cacheable
Universal: Works with any HTTP client
Flexible: Language and platform agnostic
Over-fetching: Can return too much data
Multiple Requests: May need many calls
No Real-Time: Polling required
Mobile Apps: Backend for iOS/Android
Web Applications: Frontend-backend communication
Third-Party Integration: Public APIs
Microservices: Service-to-service communication
REST APIs are typically built with these technologies
