API Testing using Postman
REST stands for Representational State Transfer. REST API is an API that conforms to the principles of the REST architectural style. It allows for interaction with RESTful web services. This is why REST APIs are sometimes referred to as RESTful APIs.
| It is an architectural style that follows six constraints – Uniform Interface, Client-Server, Layered System, Stateless, Cacheable, Code on Demand. REST is not restricted to XML. It permits different data formats such as Plain text, XML, HTML, and JSON. It requires less bandwidth. |
