Frequently Asked Questions

What is a RESTful web service? ▼

REST stands for Representational State Transfer. A RESTful web service uses standard HTTP to let different applications, such as your website, mobile app, or business software, exchange data with each other in a simple, consistent way.

Why use RESTful web services for my application? ▼

RESTful services are lightweight and scalable. Because each request is stateless and responses can be cached, they stay fast and reliable even as your user base grows. They also use a uniform interface, which makes them easier to build on, maintain, and connect to new platforms later.

Can you build REST APIs as part of a larger web application project? ▼

Yes. RESTful web services are one part of our web application development services, so we can build your APIs alongside your web application, or create them separately to connect your existing systems.
