Producing RESTful applications is more of an art than a science.
There are two key objectives to bear in mind when designing a web app to be RESTful:
- your app should produce client/server interactions which complement the semantics of HTTP.
(this makes the interaction visible and helps with intermediate processing e.g. caching)
- expose your application in a way that minimizes the assumptions clients can make about it - aka 'HATEOAS'
(this will reduce risk when making changes to your application and therefore improve the evolvability of your application)
