What are RESTful services?

REST stands for representational state transfer. It is an architectural style for our application programming interface (API) to read (GET), update (PUT), create (POST), and delete (DELETE) our users and to-do items. The goal of a RESTful approach is to increase speed/performance, reliability, and the ability to grow by reusing components that can be managed and updated without affecting the system.

You may have noticed that before Rust, slow, high-level languages seemed to be a wise choice for web development. This is because they are quicker and safer to write. This is due to the main bottleneck for the speed of processing data in web development being the network connection speed. The RESTful design aims to improve the speed by economizing the system, such as reducing API calls, as opposed to just focusing on algorithm speed. With that in mind, in this section, we will be covering the following RESTful concepts:
