A web API is an application programming interface (API) for either a web server or a web browser. It is a web development concept, usually limited to a web application's client-side (including any web frameworks being used), and thus usually does not include web server or browser implementation details such as SAPIs or web browser engine APIs unless publicly accessible by a remote web application. Each app uses the same API to get, update and manipulate data. All apps have feature parity and when you need to make a change you just make it in one place in line with the ‘Don’t Repeat Yourself’ (DRY) principle of software development. The apps themselves then become relatively lightweight UI layers. The REST architectural style has proven to be an effective way to leverage HTTP - although it is certainly not the only valid approach to HTTP. REST stands for ‘Representational State Transfer’ and it is an architectural pattern for creating an API that uses HTTP as its underlying communication method. REST was originally conceived by Roy Fielding in his 2000 dissertation paper entitled ‘Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures’.
