RESTful Service
REST- Stands for Rpresentational State Transfer
It relies on a stateless,client-server,cacheable communications protocol and in virtually all cases, the HTTP protocol is used.
REST is an architecture style for designing networked applications. Is not a standard itself, but RESTful implematations make use of standards, such as HTTP, URL, JSON and XML.

REST - Is a style of software architecture. Is an architecural style that basically exploits the existing technology and protocols of the web.
RESTful - Is used to rest to web services implementing such as architecture.
We use RESTful web services to potry the working of the REST API, can be used to modify or view resources on the server without performing any server-side operation.
