_______________________________________________________________________________________

As a programming method, rest is a lightweight solution that can replace web service and rb5.

Similar to Web Services, rest services are:

• Platform-independent (you do not need to worry about Unix servers, Mac clients, or others)
• Language independence (C # interaction with Java)
• Based on the standard (on top of HTTP), and
• It can still be used in the case of a firewall)

Like web services, rest does not provide built-in security features, encryption, session management, and QoS Assurance. Like web services, security features and encryption mechanisms can be provided over HTTP:

• For security, the user name/password token is usually used
• For encryption, rest can be based on HTTPS (Secure Socket)
• And so on.

However, there is one thing that is not a good rest design-Cookie. The "St" in "rest" has achieved status transfer. In fact, good rest design operations are self-contained (self-contained) and) each request contains all the information (Status) required by the server to complete the request ).
