Smart APIs are RESTful, which means they are:

  • Client-Server - The client and server are separate entities, with the client requesting resources from the server, which then sends back a response.

  • Stateless:

    • Each request contains all the information necessary for the server to fulfill it, without relying on any context or session information from previous requests.

    • The server does not store any client information.

  • Cacheable - Responses from the server can be cached by clients.

  • Uniform Interface - The API has a standardized way of communicating, with clear and consistent formats for requests and responses.

  • Layered System - The API is designed with multiple layers, with each layer handling a specific aspect of communication. This allows for scalability and flexibility in the system design.
