MIIn the simplest way 👇🏻
REST API is a standard way for two systems to talk to each other over the internet using HTTP.
Think of it like shopping online 🛒
👉🏻 You browse products → place order → get delivery.
👉🏻 Same way: App sends a request → server processes it → app gets data.
REST = Representational State Transfer
✅ R – Representational
You don’t send raw data — you send representations like JSON or XML.
✅ S – State
Server doesn’t remember you.
Every request carries everything it needs → stateless.
✅ T – Transfer
Data is transferred using HTTP methods:
GET (read) • POST (create) • PUT (update) • DELETE (remove)
👉🏻 Real-life example (Bank App):
• Check account balance → GET
• Transfer money → POST
• Update profile details → PUT
• Close account → DELETE
Why REST works so well 👇
✔ Simple rules
✔ Clear communication
✔ Stateless design
✔ Scalable systems
✔ Platform independent
