Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
The article discusses the original paper by Roy Thomas Fielding that introduces the REST architectural style for designing networked systems. It emphasizes the importance of understanding REST based on Fielding's dissertation.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe original paper that describes RESTful web, “Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures” Roy T. Fielding (2000), introduces the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style as a framework for designing scalable, performant, and maintainable networked systems, particularly web services.
It defines REST as a specific architectural style for network-based systems, focusing on scalability, performance, and maintainability.
When talking about REST, it is worth reading the dissertation of Roy Thomas Fielding.
