🚀 Building a RESTful API with Ruby on Rails - DEV Community

Client-Server Architecture: REST separates the concerns of the client (application consuming the API) and the server (application providing the API). The client makes requests to the server, and the server responds with relevant data.Stateless Communication: Each request from the client to the server should contain all necessary information to process the request, making the server independent of previous requests.Resource-Based: APIs are designed around resources, which represent data entities like users, products, or orders. Each resource has a unique identifier (URI) and can be manipulated using standard HTTP methods.Standard HTTP Methods: RESTful APIs leverage standard HTTP methods for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations:.
