A REST Application Programming Interface (REST API) is a type of web server that enables a client, either user-operated or automated, to access resources that model a system’s data and functions. This book is a REST API designer’s style guide and reference. It proposes a set of rules that you can leverage to design and develop REST APIs.
In today’s market, where rival web services compete for attention, a well-designed REST API is a must-have feature. This concise book presents a set of API design rules, drawn primarily from best practices that stick close to the Web’s REST architectural style. Along with rules for URI design and HTTP use, you’ll learn guidelines for media types and representational forms.
REST APIs are ubiquitous, but few of them follow a consistent design methodology. Using these simple rules, you will design web service APIs that adhere to recognized web standards. To assist you, author Mark Massé introduces the Web Resource Modeling Language (WRML), a conceptual framework he created for the design and implementation of REST APIs.
