The definition of restful is kinda fluid, but here’s the gist:
- Resources = nouns (e.g., /users)
- HTTP methods = verbs (GET, POST, etc.)
- Stateless = no cheating by remembering clients
HATEOAS is like a choose-your-own-adventure book for APIs, but most skip it.
Check out JSON:API spec—it’s a practical take on RESTful principles.
