A developer is working with a REST API for a social media platform that has the following
endpoints:

● GET /users/{id}
● POST /posts
● DELETE /posts/{id}

What advantage does the consistent and predictable structure of these endpoints provide for
developers?

It simplifies interaction by making it easier to understand and use the API without
needing to know the internal details.
 It makes the API less intuitive for developers who are unfamiliar with REST principles.

It allows for the API to be tightly coupled with the client application.

It requires developers to have detailed knowledge of the server's internal workings.

While shopping on an e-commerce website, you add items to your cart. In a RESTful system,
how does the server handle each action you take, such as adding an item?

The server stores your shopping cart data in memory for quick access.

The server uses cookies to remember your previous actions and updates your cart accordingly.

Each request you make contains all the necessary information, and the server
processes it independently without retaining any session data.

The server maintains a session for you, tracking all your previous actions.
