What is a Webservice?
- An API (Application Programming Interface) is the means by which third parties can write code that interfaces with other code.
A Web Service is a type of API, one that almost always operates over HTTP
(though some, like SOAP, can use alternate transports, like SMTP).
What is a REST web service? - While REST stands for Representational State Transfer, which is an architectural style for networked hypermedia applications, it is primarily used to build Web services that are lightweight, maintainable, and scalable. A service based on REST is called a RESTful service.
What is Slim Framework?
- Slim is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs.
