REST (Representational State Transfer): An architectural style for designing networked applications. It uses a stateless, client-server communication model, where each message contains all the information necessary to understand and process the request. REST is often used in web services development due to its simplicity, scalability, and performance. The principles of REST encourage the use of HTTP methods, URIs, stateless communication, and cacheable data, among other things, to build efficient and user-friendly web services.
