Introduction to Article by Author: REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is a phrase coined by Roy Fielding in his dissertation Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures. It is an attempt to describe the undocumented architectural design principles behind the Web. In fact you are using the World's largest and most popular REST system right now, yes, the World Wide Web......With all the talk of Web Services by the big software companies of this World, REST has (or will, maybe) come back into the limelight as an HTTP RPC protocol (like SOAP and XML-RPC).
