What is a RESTful API?
A RESTful API, or Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface, is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It allows different software applications to communicate with each other over the internet by using standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. RESTful APIs are designed to be stateless, meaning that each request from a client to a server contains all the information needed to execute that request, without relying on any stored server-side context. This makes them highly scalable, efficient, and easily understood by developers.
