    REST APIs allow systems to communicate over HTTP by sending requests to retrieve, create, update or delete resources represented by URLs. They use HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT and DELETE and return data formats like JSON and XML. REST APIs are designed to be stateless and scalable following common standards and conventions, and can be tested using tools like Postman.

    )What do you understand by #REST #APIs?

    Ans.
    1) REST stands for Representational State Transfer and is a style of software architecture that uses
    HTTP to communicate between different systems.

    2) REST APIs are a way for systems to communicate with each other over the internet, using HTTP
    requests to retrieve, create, update or delete resources.

    3) REST APIs are designed to be stateless, meaning that each request contains all the information
    necessary to complete the request, without the need for a server-side session.

    4) REST APIs are typically accessed using URLs, with each URL representing a specific resource or
    action.

    5) REST APIs use HTTP methods (such as GET, POST, PUT and DELETE) to indicate the type of
    action being performed on a resource.

    6) REST APIs typically return data in JSON or XML format, which can be easily parsed by most
    programming languages.

    7) REST APIs should be designed to be scalable, reliable, and secure, and should follow
    established standards and conventions.

    8) REST APIs can be tested using tools like Postman, which allow you to send requests and view
    responses, as well as test for errors and performance issues.

    9) REST APIs are used in a wide variety of applications, from mobile apps and websites to
    enterprise software systems and IoT devices.

    10) Understanding the principles of REST APIs is essential for anyone working in software
    development, particularly in web development and API design.
