Representational State Transfer

A specific set of principles for defining, addressing and interacting with resources addressable by URIs.

Architectures that follow these principles are said to be RESTful. The principles include: abstraction of state into resources and a uniform set of representations and operations (e.g., HTTP verbs like GET and PUT as the only means to manipulate a resource).
