explaining rest to my brother

roy fielding was one of many principal authors of the HTTP specification.

techniques we use today were used to talk to a small group of machines rather than all of the machines.

the https protocal that fielding and his friends created is a way of interacting with another machine. ex: GET, PUT, PATCH, POST, and DELETE.

• GET
  • request data that already exists
• PUT
  • update data that already exists
• PATCH
  • partial update of data that already exists
• POST
  • send new data to be added
