Yo, the definition of restful isn’t *that* complicated. It’s just an API that follows REST principles, which are:
- Resources (like /users, /posts)
- Standard HTTP methods
- Stateless (no session memory)
HATEOAS is cool in theory but rarely used fully. Most devs just stick to the basics.
For a simple breakdown, I’d recommend MDN’s docs on REST—super beginner-friendly.
