REST is an abbreviation of Representational state transfer — a style of software architecture designed for distributed systems, typically for the World Wide Web. Xperience has a built-in REST service, which can be used to read, create, update and delete virtually any object or page within the system. These operations are performed by requesting specific URLs. The Xperience REST service is RESTful, which means that it supports both directions of data transfer (from and into the system).
