    Using REST API in Drupal8

    • REST stands for Representational State Transfer. REST is a web


    standards based architecture and uses HTTP Protocol for data
    communication. It revolves around resources where every
    component is a resource and a resource is accessed by a common
    interface using HTTP standard methods.

    • RESTful Web Services are basically REST Architecture based Web


    Services. In REST Architecture everything is a resource. RESTful web
    services are light weight, highly scalable and maintainable and are
    very commonly used to create APIs for web-based applications.

    Once you saved the view, you can test the end point using any REST
    client. Here, we are using "Advanced REST client", an extension of
    Google Chrome browser. For installing this, type in
    "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps" in your
    Google Chrome browser. Search for "rest client" as shown in the
    image below. You will find "Advanced REST client". Click "FREE" to
    install the application.

    After installing the rest client, go to the path "chrome://apps/" on
    your Google Chrome browser or click the "Apps" icon on the
    bookmarks bar of your Google-Chrome browser. Then select the
    "Advanced REST client" application.

    In "Advanced REST client", we need to provide the path of the end
    point. Here our path is “http://localhost/rest/export/json/article”.
    Select "GET" and click "Send" as shown in the following picture.

    After you send the request, you will get a response "Status Code: 200 - OK", which is a standard
    response for successful HTTP requests. This is how the successful response looks:
