Know the acronym

REST stands for "Representational State Transfer' and utilizes HTTP interactions to communicate between client and server in a user-friendly way.

Wide range of utility

REST API’s use of HTTP means it can work with any standard programming language to retrieve, send, update, and delete data.

Constantly learning

REST is cacheable, meaning the API can cache resources to improve future performance

Secure communication channels

REST features stateless client-server communications that ensure no information is being stored between interactions
