ReSTful web services have been popular for some time, yet still today there is confusion about what it means. Some will say it is a web service that doesn’t use SOAP standards, others will argue it has to do with using HTTP’s PUT and DELETE methods along with their more popular siblings GET and POST, and still others will argue it has to do with an even more confusing acronym HATEOAS. Everyone seems to have an opinion on what it means, and the only thing that is clear is that they are talking about different things. Which is fairly ironic considering the term is an acronym for a pretty clear idea and its spelled out fairly clearly in Roy Fielding’s paper.
