The API resources are still generalized but it is possible to identify the scope of each one. Level One design is not RESTful, yet it is organizing the API in the direction of becoming one. Level 1 API examples
For example, Fielding identified the embedding of session information in URIs as a violation of the constraints of REST which can negatively affect shared caching and server scalability. HTTP cookies also violated REST constraints [ 4 ] because they can become out of sync with the browser's application state, making them unreliable; they also ...
RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) is a YAML-based language for describing static APIs (but not REST APIs). [2] It provides all the information necessary to describe APIs on the level 2 of the Richardson Maturity Model .
A user-agent makes an HTTP request to a REST API through an entry point URL. All subsequent requests the user-agent may make are discovered inside the response to each request. The media types used for these representations, and the link relations they may contain, are part of the API. The client transitions through application states by ...
A Web API is a development in Web services where emphasis has been moving to simpler representational state transfer (REST) based communications. [2] Restful APIs do not require XML-based Web service protocols ( SOAP and WSDL) to support their interfaces.
The RESTful Service Description Language (RSDL) is a machine- and human-readable XML description of HTTP-based web applications (typically REST web services). [1]The language (defined by Michael Pasternak during his work on oVirt RESTful API) allows documenting the model of the resource(s) provided by a service, the relationships between them, and operations and the parameters that must be ...
The Web Application Description Language (WADL) is a machine-readable XML description of HTTP-based web services. [1] WADL models the resources provided by a service and the relationships between them. [1]
REST, or Representational State Transfer, describes a series of architectural constraints that exemplify how the web's design emerged. [1] Various concrete implementations of these ideas have been created throughout time, but it has been difficult to discuss the REST architectural style without blurring the lines between actual software and the ...
