REST Architectural Constraints


RESTful API
Client-senver architecture:
The client is the front-end and the server is the back-end of the service.

It is important to note that both of these entities are independent of each other.
Stateless:

No data should be stored on the server during the processing of the request
transfer. The state of the session should be saved at the client's end.

Cacheable:

The client should have the ability to store responses in a cache.

This greatly improves the performance of the API.

Uniform Interface:
This constraint indicates a generic interface to manage all the interactions
between the client and server in a unified way, which simplifies and decouples
the architecture.

Layered System:
The server can have multiple layers for implementation.

This layered architecture helps to improve scalability by enabling load balancing.

URl::

Uniform Resource ldentifier (URI).


For web-based systems, HTTP is the most commonly used protocol for
communicating with external systems.

You can identify a unique resource using a URI.

HTTP Methods
GET.To geta collection or a single record
POST:: To create a new record

PUT:: To update an exieting record


DELETE:: To delete a collection or a single record

Difference between POST and PUT methods?


POST: post will always create new record In database

Which is not-idompotent

PUT: f already ld Is avallable update the record, If record not avallable save the new record.
t is idompotent.

What is ldompotent?

When you hit the samerequest multiple time it will give always same result
Put & delete both are idompotent.
