Architecture

Richardson’s Maturity Model breaks down the journey towards building a truly RESTful API into levels, each adding more constraints and adhering more closely to REST principles.

REST API’s have a very rich vocabulary to communicate a variety of statuses and results. The verbs put, post, update, get and others are used to indicate the action that must be performed. The status indicate the result of the actions performed by the verbs.

Rest is a client server communication model which is stateless, resource based, and Idempotent.
