What is Web REST APIs?

Web REST APIs (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interfaces) are a widely used architectural style for building web services. They enable communication and data exchange between different software systems over the internet using standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to access and manipulate resources identified by URLs. REST APIs are stateless, meaning each request from a client to a server contains all the information needed to understand the request, without the server storing any session information about the client. They are commonly used for building web applications, mobile apps, and integrating different systems.
