Common REST Design Pattern. Based on the same architectural pattern of the web, "REST" has a growing dominance of the SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) implementation these days.
In this article, we will discuss some basic design principles of REST. SOAP : The Remote Procedure Call Model Before the REST become a dominance, most of SOA architecture are built around WS* stack, which is fundamentally a RPC (Remote Procedure Call) model. Richardson Maturity Model. A model (developed by Leonard Richardson) that breaks down the principal elements of a REST approach into three steps.
These introduce resources, http verbs, and hypermedia controls. Recently I've been reading drafts of Rest In Practice : a book that a couple of my colleagues have been working on. Their aim is to explain how to use Restful web services to handle many of the integration problems that enterprises face. At the heart of the book is the notion that the web is an existence proof of a massively scalable distributed system that works really well, and we can take ideas from that to build integrated systems more easily.
