Rest API

Make HTTP requests from a client

Usage

Making a request using POST or GET:

Sorting array of numbers

http://ec2-35-160-1-123.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/api/sort?array=34,7,8,9,1

In this example, the rest api takes an argument of "array" which is a string data type by using either GET or POST HTTP verbs. Then the results are returned as plain text in JSON format
