What are the features of REST API?
- It is a client and server model so there must be client and server in the architecture.
- It is a stateless client and server model — Address point issue number 4.
- It is a Layered Client Cache Stateless Server Model — Address a part of issue number 3.
- Uniform Interface — Important.
