Sample text
For HTTP methods relevant characteristics are, whether the HTTP method is safe and idempotent. Idempotent methods can be repeated without altering the end result; executing the method multiple times has the same effect as executing the method only once. Safe methods do not have any side effects, do not change the state of the resource and are read-only. REST is incompatible with the commonly used procedure-oriented style for web services, where procedures are first class objects. When defining procedure-oriented interfaces, activities or operations are the abstraction and services encapsulate procedures.
APIs can be used by apps, but they can also be used by other APIs. In this case, APIs become the building blocks for bigger APIs and are thus reused. If not the complete API can be reused, at least a part of the API could be reused. Common functionality can be factored out into shared libraries and the shared libraries are reused. The reuse and the consistency requirement go hand in hand and lead to the same results. Customization A successful API portfolio addresses and satisfies the needs of its API consumers.
The creation of a new REST API does not require a lot of overhead. In comparison, the creation of SOAP services requires a larger overhead, due to the specification of WSDL files with a compatible implementation. The REST limitation to the uniform resource interface contributes to the explorability and discoverability of APIs. With some experience in HTTP, the available methods are self-explanatory, intuitive and predictable, since the same methods are used in each and every API. As a result, consumers can quickly access the service and perform calls.
