What is the REST API in Laravel?
We are living in an era where the Internet is the most revolutionary invention of the century. We can call this world “the world of the Internet” which has connected everyone throughout the world.
Before we start exploring about REST? I would like to develop your concept of HTTP and API. HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol which is categorized as an application protocol for collaborative, distributed and hypermedia information systems. This protocol is the base of data communication on the world wide web (www).
API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is a set of clearly communication methods through which a software can be communicated with. These methods and procedures allows to access the features and data of an application, servic and operating system. For example, Facebook provides social login API for user authentication.

REST stands for Representational State Transfer. REST is a software architecture through which we apply certain constraints on our web service. Such web services are called RESTful web services. RESTful web services provide interoperability between computers on internet.
RESTful services allow to perform operations on data and access the system in various ways. RESTful API is an application programming interface that uses HTTP requests to perform PUT, GET, POST and DELETE operations.
