Approachesrest is a design concept and, in some discussions, a lightweight framework for building RESTful APIs that emphasize multiple approaches to client needs. The term blends the idea of methodical approaches with REST principles, focusing on how clients interact with data rather than solely on fixed resource representations.
The core idea of approachesrest is to treat API design as a catalog of access approaches. Practitioners
Architecturally, approachesrest typically envisions a layered structure that includes a core REST surface, an approach registry
Reception and status are informal; approachesrest is not a formal standard and remains an exploratory concept
