Chapter 10, Consuming REST Services

1. A DTO is responsible for holding data that will be sent to and/or from the API.
2. The database is now in the cloud and managed through the API. As the client, we don’t know, nor need to know, what kind of database is in use.
3. It wraps all the API calls so that a client can interact with the API as if it were a Plain Old CLR Object (POCO).
4. Account creation is accomplished in the cloud via the API.
5. Authentication is accomplished in the cloud via the API.
