A RESTful JSON API for tvm.nirantak.com built with Django REST Framework
REST is an architecture style for designing networked applications and APIs over HTTP.
It stands for REpresentational State Transfer.
Web Services that conform to the REST architectural style, or RESTful web services, provide interoperability between computer systems on the Internet.
As REST creator, Roy Fielding describes in his doctoral dissertation, it was conceived as a whole sets of needs, shaped by the constraints of the environment in which this system was going to be implemented. Such constraints are:
- Client-Server architecture
- Uniform Interface (Resource URIs, Hypermedia)
- Stateless
- Cacheable
- Layered System
- Code on demand (optional)
