REST web service (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style that defines a set of restrictions and properties based on HTTP.
Rest is increasingly used as an alternative to SOAP where the main criticism is bureaucracy, something which REST has on a much smaller scale. REST is based on the design of the HTTP protocol, which already has several built-in mechanisms to represent features such as status code, content type representation, headers, etc.
