REST
(Representational State Transfer)
A way of designing how systems communicate over the web using standard requests and responses
What's it for?
Gives web services a common, predictable way to let other software read or change information.
For example…
A shopping app asks the shop’s online service for order 123 and receives the order details back — a simple example of a REST-style request
A REST API represents customers as resources and uses GET to read them, POST to create them and DELETE to remove them
Think of it like…
Library desk with a clear catalogue: you ask for a specific shelf item by its label, rather than inventing a new private language each time
