We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "REST API Design Rulebook" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In todays market, where rival web services compete for attention, a well-designed REST API is a must-have feature. This concise book presents a set of API design rules, drawn primarily from best practices that stick close to the Webs REST architectural style. Along with rules for URI design and HTTP use, youll learn guidelines for media types and representational forms. REST APIs are ubiquitous, but few of them follow a consistent design methodology. Using these simple rules, you will design web service APIs that adhere to recognized web standards. To assist you, author Mark Mass? introduces the Web Resource Modeling Language (WRML), a conceptual framework he created for the design and implementation of REST APIs.Learn design rules for addressing resources with URIs Apply design principles to HTTPs request methods and response status codes Work with guidelines for conveying metadata through HTTP headers and media types Get design tips to address the needs of client programs, including the special needs of browser-based JavaScript clients Understand why REST APIs should be designed and configured, not coded

Preface
Greetings Program!

Representational State Transfer (REST) is a technical description of how the World Wide Web[] works. Specifically, REST tells us how the Web achieves its great scale. If the Web can be said to have an operating system, its architectural style is REST.

A REST Application Programming Interface (REST API) is a type of web server that enables a client, either user-operated or automated, to access resources that model a systems data and functions.

This book is a REST API designers style guide and reference. It proposes a set of rules that you can leverage to design and develop REST APIs.



[] The World Wide Web is more commonly known as the Web, which is how this book refers to it.

Acknowledgments

I could not have written this book without the help of the folks mentioned here.

Tim Berners-Lee

As a member of the World Wide Web generation, I have spent my entire career as a software engineer working in, and adding to, the Web. I am eternally grateful to Tim Berners-Lee for his WorldWideWeb project. A triumph; huge success.

Roy Fielding

Roy Fieldings pioneering Ph.D. dissertation was the primary inspiration for this book. If you want to learn all about REST from its original author, I highly recommend that you read Fieldings dissertation.[]

Leonard Richardson

In an effort to distinguish between RESTful and other Web API designs, Leonard Richardson proposed[] what has come to be known as the Richardson Maturity Model. In his model, Richardson outlined three distinct levels of REST API maturity:

  1. URI

  2. HTTP

  3. Hypermedia

Each level corresponds with an aspect of the Webs uniform interface that an API must embrace in order to be considered RESTful. The maturity models level-based classification system has helped me evaluate and concisely communicate the RESTfulness of many Web API designs.[]

OReilly Media, Inc.

I have been a fan of OReillys books for as long as Ive been programming. Working on this project with OReillys Simon St. Laurent has been an incredible experience and an honest to goodness dream come true for me. I am greatly honored to have been given this opportunity and I thank Simon and everyone at OReilly Media for their support and encouragement.
