RESTful APIs are the backbone of modern web and mobile applications.
REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It's an architectural style that uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for communication between clients and servers.
Designing a RESTful API isn't just about making something that works — it's about making it intuitive, reliable, and secure. By following the principles and best practices outlined here, you'll create APIs that developers love to use and that can scale with your application.
