REST-In SharePoint 2010

REST (or Representational State Transfer) is an easy way to easily get or post items to a server-side web service. It is used in situations where you would use a web service but do not want the overhead and tightly-coupled nature of SOAP. With REST, it’s just a simple, client-server-like request using HTTP to retrieve or send information. Technically, REST is not a protocol, but an architectural style.

SharePoint 2010, being based on WCF in the .NET 3.5 Framework, has built-in RESTful web services which allow us to take advantage of this simplicity in custom applications we write. It is one of the many data access mechanisms used in SharePoint 2010 development. REST is intended for remote applications (i.e. not running physically on the SharePoint server) that need basic read/write capabilities to SharePoint’s list and library data.
