REST in AM
Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style that sets certain constraints for designing and building large-scale distributed hypermedia systems.
As an architectural style, REST has very broad applications. The designs of both HTTP 1.1 and URIs follow RESTful principles. The World Wide Web is no doubt the largest and best known REST application. Many other web services also follow the REST architectural style. Examples include OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect 1.0, and User-Managed Access (UMA).
The common REST API applies RESTful principles to define common verbs for HTTP-based APIs. Most native AM REST APIs use the common REST verbs. In contrast, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect 1.0 and UMA APIs follow their respective standards.
