Designing a RESTful API

Almost everything relies on web resources—from a single page application that dynamically fetches data via JavaScript and displays it in HTML to the app integration for a particular service. A resource on a web service can be anything but it's typically expressed using readable URIs so information is already transferred by using a specific path, which then only accepts the required information it needs to process. This allows structuring code internally and globally utilizes all HTTP methods to create an expressive interface that developers can use. RESTful APIs (https://www.codecademy.com/articles/what-is-rest) ideally capture all of these benefits.
