What does REST stand for? REST stands for Representational State Transfer which is an architectural style that defines recommendations for designing loosely coupled applications that use the HTTP protocol for data transmission.
Why is REST better than SOAP? Since 2018, REST is what developers prefer to use when building public APIs. Not only is it the most popular choice for developers, but the same can also be said for big social media sites since they provide REST APIs, so developers can seamlessly integrate their apps with those platforms.
REST is the most popular choice of developers to build public APIs. You can find many examples all over the internet, especially since all big social media sites provide REST APIs so that developers can seamlessly integrate their apps with the platform. These public APIs also come with detailed documentation where you can get all the information you need to pull data through the API. Rest usually is the better option for web-based APIs, it makes data available as resources versus services which is how SOAP operates. Plus, it inherits HTTP operations, meaning you can make simple API called using well-known HTTP verbs.
