REST is not a protocol, a file format, or a development framework. It’s a set of design constraints: statelessness, hypermedia as the engine of application state, and so on. Collectively, we call these the Fielding constraints, because they were first identified in Roy T. Fielding’s 2000 dissertation on software architecture, which gathered them together under the name “REST.”
