Did you mean RESET instead of REST as in the API ?

Did you mean RESET instead of REST as in the API ?
- kragen 4y agoI meant REST, and I don't know what you might mean by "RESET". REST isn't an API; it's the architectural style describing how the WWW works. Check out Roy Fielding's dissertation, "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures": https://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm https://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm
- jimmySixDOF 4y agoThanks yes that's what I was talking about I come across it mostly as an API framework but was not aware it (the architecture;) had any link back to anything 3270 thanks for giving me something to explore.
- kragen 4y agoREST is not an "API framework" as usually understood, because "API" generally means "interface based on procedure calls," while REST prohibits interfaces based on procedure calls.
- jimmySixDOF 4y agoWell I see a lot of systems which rely on RESTfull APIs [1] for some level of external interoperability but maybe framework is the wrong phrasing. [1] https://restfulapi.net/ https://restfulapi.net/
