softwareREST
softwareREST is a software architectural approach that applies REST principles to the design and interaction of software components and services. By treating functional units as resources identified by stable URIs and accessed via standard HTTP methods, softwareREST aims to enable loosely coupled, scalable systems that can evolve independently.
Core principles include stateless interactions, a uniform resource-based interface, and the use of hypermedia to guide
Architectural components often include resource models, a contract defined by an API specification such as OpenAPI,
Typical workflows involve CRUD-like operations over HTTP, with clients discovering capabilities via links and representations. Examples
Advantages of softwareREST include interoperability across languages, scalability, and independent deployment of services. Limitations include potential
As a design philosophy, softwareREST emphasizes predictable interfaces, clear resource modeling, and governance via API contracts,
