rest

Set of rules to follow when exposing your data or creating a website that 
focuses on stateless data transfer. Meaning the server dose not have to save each session.

Representational state transfer is a software architectural style that defines
a set of constraints to be used for creating Web services.

Web services that conform to the REST architectural style, called RESTful Web
services, provide interoperability between computer systems on the internet
