Zend_Rest

Zend_Rest is a component of the Zend Framework designed to simplify creating web services that adhere to REST principles. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a way for applications to communicate over the internet using standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Zend_Rest provides a structured way to handle these actions, enabling developers to build APIs where clients can perform operations such as retrieving, creating, updating, or deleting data via web requests. It streamlines the development process by managing common tasks involved in RESTful services, ensuring consistent and manageable code.
