RestAPI

A REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that allows different software systems to communicate over the internet. It enables one program to request and receive data or perform actions on another system, typically using standard web protocols like HTTP. Think of it as a well-defined way for applications to exchange information efficiently, such as fetching user data from a website or submitting a form. REST APIs are widely used because they are simple, scalable, and rely on standard methods, making it easier for developers to build and connect different software components.
