REST API

A REST API, or Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface, refers to a set of rules and conventions for building and interacting with web services. It uses standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE to perform operations on resources, typically represented by formats such as JSON or XML.

REST APIs are designed to be stateless, scalable, and easy to use. This makes them an ideal choice for web-based applications. In addition, REST APIs can facilitate the use of Linked Data and OSLC by enabling the retrieval and manipulation of interconnected data between different systems.
