Question
What is a characteristic of REST APIs?
Options
- Astateful
- Bclient-server based
- CLayer 2 execution
- Ddevice-specific
Explanation
A fundamental characteristic of REST APIs is their client-server based architecture, where clients initiate requests and servers process them independently.
Common mistakes.
- A. REST APIs are typically designed to be stateless, meaning each request from a client to a server must contain all the information needed to understand the request, and the server does not store client context between requests.
- C. REST APIs operate at the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model, using protocols like HTTP, and do not directly involve Layer 2 execution.
- D. REST APIs are generally designed to be device-agnostic, meaning they can be accessed and consumed by various client devices (web browsers, mobile apps, other services) without being tied to a specific hardware or software device.
