REST

Representational State Transfer

  • Statelessness is defined from the perspective of the server.

  • The constraint says that the server should not remember the state of the application.

  • As a consequence, the client should send all information necessary for execution along with each request, because the server cannot reuse information from previous requests as it didn’t memorize them.
