4. The truth about the world!
● There are no applications you can think of
which cannot be made to fit into the GET /
PUT / POST /DELETE resources /
representations model of the world!
● Other interfaces considered harmful
because they increase the costs of
consuming particular service
5. What REST offers?
● Unlike SOAP and XML-RPC, REST does not
require a new message format
● Easy to build - no toolkits required
● Lightweight
● Human Readable Results
6. What the rest of the architectures
offer?
● Break Web architecture
● Significantly higher coordination costs
● Don't scale well
7. REST - the trendy way to build WEB
services

9. The Future is here
Vision:
A World Wide Web that runs on one set of
servers, uses one set of protocols, and obeys
one set of design principles
How:
Resource Oriented Architecture(ROA)
through REST.
