REST is not a protocol or standard, it is a set of requirements which must be followed in order to be compliant. There are six requirements for an API to be compliant.
- Standardized API requests: any and all API requests should follow a specific format
- Independent Applications: the applications run by the client and by the server should be completely independent of each other
- Requests need all possible information which would be relevant to carrying it out
- System cant know which step in transferring information it is in
