Understanding REST

REST is an acronym for Representational State Transfer. This is a set of constraints that an API should follow. If you're API follows these constrains then it is considered to be RESTful. These constraints are:

• A client-server model,
• Stateless interaction,
• Uniform interface.

This does not make REST much clearer to understand.

SOLID Principles

SOLID is a mnemonic acronym used in Object-Orientated Programming for five design principles. Incorporating SOLID into your project should make your code more flexible, maintainable and understandable. SOLID stands for:

• SRP - Single Responsibility Principle
• OCP - Open Closed Principle
• LSP - Liskov Substitution Principle
• ISP - Interface Segregation Principle
• DIP - Dependency Inversion Principle

Single Responsibility Principle

The Single Responsibility Principle states that a class or method should only be responsible for one task. This also means that a developer should only have one reason to change the behavior of a method or class. When a class only does one thing it mitigates against any unwanted side effects of changing the behavior of the class.
