What are advantages of REST web services?
REST (Representational State Transfer) web services offer several advantages that make them a popular choice for developers and businesses. Here are some key benefits:
REST APIs are easy to understand and use because they leverage standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for communication. This simplicity makes it easier for developers to learn and implement RESTful services quickly[2][5].
RESTful APIs are highly scalable due to their stateless nature and the separation between client and server. This allows each component to evolve independently, making it easier to scale applications without affecting the overall system[1][3][4].
REST APIs are format-agnostic, meaning they can handle various data formats such as JSON, XML, and HTML. This flexibility allows developers to choose the best format for their needs and makes it easier to integrate with different systems and platforms[3][5].
RESTful web services are lightweight and consume less bandwidth, which is particularly beneficial for mobile applications and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The use of caching mechanisms further enhances performance by reducing the number of server requests[3][4][7].
The client-server separation in RESTful APIs allows developers to work on different parts of a project independently. This independence also means that changes in the server-side technology do not affect the client-side application, and vice versa[1][3][4].
RESTful APIs support caching, which can significantly reduce server load a...
