1. What’s the relationship between REST and CRUD?
REST is an architectural system centered around resources and Hypermedia using HTTP commands. CRUD is a cycle meant to maintain records in a database setting. CRUD is a way of manipulating information, describing the function of an application. Source
2. If you had to describe the process of creating a RESTful API in 5 steps, what would they be?
Identify resources - Object Modeling
Create Model URIs (resource URIs = API endpoints)
Determine resource representations (defined in either XML or JSON)
Assigning HTTP methods (map app operations to resource URIs)
More Actions: logging, security, discovery, etc.
