RESTful Web API Design with Node.js (Video 5)

This video tutorial provides an overview of REST, explaining its architecture and the six constraints that make APIs RESTful. It clarifies common misconceptions about REST, emphasizing that it is not a protocol, framework, or standard. The tutorial details each constraint: client-server, statelessness, caching, uniform interface, layered system, and code on demand, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks. The video aims to help viewers understand how these constraints contribute to the scalability and efficiency of RESTful APIs.

What is meant by a uniform interface in REST, and why is it significant?

How does layering contribute to the scalability and security of APIs?

What is the concept of code on demand in REST, and is it a required constraint?
