A characteristic of the REST API is that it is stateless. This means that there is no client information stored in the server session, instead the state is maintained by the client sending all relevant data with each request. Additionally, the API defines how resources are interacted with and manipulated in an HTTP-based system using a limited set of operations such as GET, POST, PUT and DELETE. The API should return data in a standardised language such as JSON or XML which makes it easy to parse, display, and manipulate.
