RESTful API for the dummies

An Application Program Interface aka API is code that allows two software programs to communicate with each another. The API spells out the proper way for a developer to write some code requesting services from an operating system or other applications. In a web context, APIs allow communication between two webapps (or a web app and a client that is not always a brose) without any browser.

A RESTful API, also referred to as a RESTful web service, is an Application Program Interface that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data.

A RESTful API  is based on REpresentational State Transfer (REST) technology, an architectural style and approach to communications often used in web services development.





A la base, j’aimais bien cet article pour une partie de son contenu mais pas pour le plan de construction et comme j’avais besoin d’expliquer pourquoi certaines API ne respectaient pas les concepts REST, j’ai eu besoin de ré-écrire cette introduction.
