Rest API
REST, short for Representational State Transfer, defines an HTTP-based approach to constructing APIs. It’s known for its lightweight nature, suitability for handling large data volumes, high compatibility, and user-friendly design.
The WordPress REST API acts as a bridge between WordPress and various software applications, boasting universal compatibility. It’s a game-changing addition as it transforms WordPress beyond a Content Management System (CMS) into a versatile data framework.

Client server
RESTful APIs are built using the architecture such that the client and the server remain separate from one another. That way they can continue to develop on their own and can be used independently. A client sends an HTTP request to a server and the server sends an HTTP response back.
Stateless
REST APIs must follow a stateless protocol. In other words, they can’t store any information about the client on the server. The client’s request should include all the necessary data upfront and the response should provide everything the client needs. This makes each interaction a one and done deal, reduces both memory requirements and the potential for errors.
Caching
A cache is the temporary storage of specific data, so it can be retrieved and sent faster. RESTful APIs make use of cacheable data whenever possible, to improve speed and efficiency. In addition, the API needs to let the client know if each piece of data can and should be cached.
