Representational State Transfer

A model for Web services based solely on HTTP. REST takes the view that the Web already has everything necessary for Web services, without having to add extra specifications such as SOAP and UDDI. The theory holds that any object can be represented and made available at a URI, and, subject to the necessary permissions, can be fully manipulated using one of the four simple HTTP verbs: GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE.
