In web app development, the terms "REST API" and "RESTful API" are often used interchangeably, but they refer to slightly different concepts.
A RESTful API adheres to the principles of REST (Representational State Transfer), which is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It emphasizes a stateless client-server architecture, where client-server communication is done through stateless requests and responses. RESTful APIs use HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on resources identified by URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers).
