Representational State Transfer; an architectural style for designing networked applications.

A structure where client requests resources from a server, which then responds to those requests.

A property where each request is independent; no client session data stored on the server.

A mechanism to store copies of resources to improve speed and performance of web applications.

Each resource in a REST system has a unique address (URI) for easy access and identification.

Static pages remain fixed, while dynamic pages change frequently.

The three main abstractions of REST are Resources, Representations, and Actions.

A resource is anything a service can provide, including states and functions.

A resource must have a unique address, known as a URI, to be accessible.

URIs are intended to remain unchanged to maintain link integrity.

The client uses parameters in the URI to specify the desired representation of a resource.

A URI consists of scheme, userinfo, host, port, path, query, and fragment.

An example of a URI is https://[email protected]:123/forum/questions/?

Items transferred between clients and servers to represent resources.

The format of a representation that indicates how to interpret it.

The protocol used for transferring representations between clients and servers.

Uniform Resource Identifier; the address used to access resources in REST.

Different formats like text, image, video, or JSON for resource representations.

A query language for APIs, developed by Facebook in 2012 and released publicly in 2015.

Defines types and fields, allowing clients to inspect available data.

Used to model data in GraphQL; each type has defined fields.

A request to fetch specific data from the server.

Used to create or update data on the server.

Result format of a GraphQL query, typically in JSON.

The problem where too much data is retrieved typically solved by requesting specific fields.

GraphQL allows introspective querying, while REST relies on predefined endpoints and caching.

A video resolution of 1280x720 pixels, commonly seen in HD formats.

Standard methods used in HTTP: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.

Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete - four main operations in REST.

HTTP method used to retrieve resources without modifying them.

HTTP method used to create new resources; URI is often unknown at creation.

HTTP method used to update existing resources with new values.

HTTP method used to remove existing resources from the server.

Codes indicating the result of an HTTP request (1XX, 2XX, 3XX, 4XX, 5XX).

Resources represented often as JSON, identifiable by URIs in API requests.

Method where a unique token is sent by a registered user with each request.

A method where username and password are sent as cleartext in HTTP headers.

A protocol for allowing third party services to access user data without sharing credentials.

Data format often used for API responses; lightweight and easy to read.

Unique address for accessing a specific resource within an API.

Mapping of actions: CREATE (POST), RETRIEVE (GET), UPDATE (PUT), DELETE (DELETE).

Indicates unauthorized access; client must handle it.

Client can manage authorization requests; secure with HTTPS.

Insecure over HTTP; Base64 encoding is easily decoded.

Preferred authorization scheme for RESTful services; open-source protocol.

Allows third-party apps to access user's data with consent, without sharing login details.

A unique token given to third-party to access user data securely.

Sequence of steps that a user follows to grant access to a third party without sharing credentials.

Users don’t provide login details directly to third-party services.

Games use OAuth to post on user’s social media, accessing friend lists.

Java class structure for REST services using annotations and produces methods.

Converts Celsius to Fahrenheit in Java RESTful service.

Converts Fahrenheit to Celsius in Java RESTful service response with JSON.

Use HTTPS instead of HTTP to secure data transmission.
