A Brief Introduction to REST. You may or may not be aware that there is debate going on about the “right” way to implement heterogeneous application-to-application communication: While the current mainstream clearly focuses on web services based on SOAP, WSDL and the WS-* specification universe, a small, but very vocal minority claims there’s a better way: REST, short for REpresentational State Transfer.

While its possibilities aren't limited to web-based applications, it's becoming an increasing trend in so-called Web 2.0 applications. The term API stands for Application Programming Interface. Introduction[edit] The term "Open API" has been recently in use by recent trends in social media and Web 2.0. It is currently a heavily sought after solution to interconnect websites in a more fluid user-friendly manner.
