Using the Adapter for REST

Topics:

REST is an acronym for REpresentational State Transfer. REST-style architectures consist of clients and servers. Clients initiate requests to servers and servers process requests and return appropriate responses. REST was initially described in the context of HTTP. It utilizes well-known, well-defined methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

A RESTful Web Service is a web service implemented using HTTP and the principles of REST.

The Adapter for REST supports RESTful Web Services, where the response is either XML or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). For more information, see Using the Adapter for JSON and Using the Adapter for XML.
