    REST is a new way to implement Web Services. The acronym REST stands for 'Representational State Transfer', this basically means that each unique URL is a representation of some object. You can get the contents of that object using an HTTP GET.

    All of Yahoo's web services use REST.
    Advantage of REST:

  • Lightweight - not a lot of extra xml markup
  • Human Readable Results
  • Easy to build - no toolkits required
