Câu trả lời What is statelessness in RESTful Webservices?
Statelessness in RESTful web services is a fundamental principle that dictates that each HTTP request from a client to a server must contain all the information needed to understand and process the request. This means that the server does not store any information about the client's state between requests. Each request is treated as an independent and isolated transaction, with no memory of previous interactions.
Key Points of Statelessness in RESTful Web Services
Isolation of Requests:
Each HTTP request happens in complete isolation. The server processes each request independently, without relying on any stored context from previous requests[1][2][3].
Client Responsibility:
The client is responsible for maintaining its own state. This includes storing session-related information, such as authentication tokens or any other context data required for subsequent requests[2][3].
Scalability:
Statelessness enhances scalability because any server can handle any request from any client. There is no need for session affinity or sticky sessions, which means that load can be distributed across multiple servers without complex synchronization[1][2][4].
Simplicity and Performance:
Stateless communication simplifies the server architecture and reduces complexity. The server does not need to manage session states, which can improve performance and make the system easier to develop, test, and maintain[1][2][5].
Caching:
Stateless APIs are easier to cache because each request is self-contained. Caching mechanisms can determine whether to cache a response based solely on the current request, without worrying about the state from previous requests[2][4].
Example of Statelessness
Consider an API where a client wants to log in and order goods. In a stateless system, the client must send authentication details with every request. For instance, if the client sends a request to order a product, it must include the authentication token a...
