RESTCONF

RESTCONF is a protocol that allows systems, like network devices, to communicate and share configuration information over the internet using standard web techniques. It uses HTTP methods (such as GET and POST) to access, modify, or retrieve data in a structured format like XML or JSON. This approach simplifies managing complex networks by providing a consistent way for administrators and software to interact with hardware and software components, enabling automation and centralized control without needing specialized tools. Essentially, RESTCONF makes network management more efficient and accessible through familiar web-based methods.
