Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number. In this document we focus on the latter. REST is less complicated than other approaches, easy for developers and users to understand, and easy to implement. Further, the approach is scalable to large enterprises due to a fundamental tenet of REST: stateless interactions. The same aspects of REST which drive companies such as Amazon and Google to use REST to deliver capability to their users make it an attractive and useful technology for the Department of Defense (DoD). The goal of this document is to introduce the REST pattern and to share lessons learned gathered through our own development efforts using REST for the DoD, and the study of current commercial practices. We cover both the REST concept in general and the supporting technologies needed to employ REST effectively for developing web services. The authors do not consider this document to be an authoritative mandate, but instead an informational snapshot of current practices for REST services that includes areas which are still evolving such as service security. Release of V1.0 is intended to serve as the vehicle for further review by a more extensive developer community. As required, revised versions of this document will be published. April 2010iii AbstractRepresentative State Transfer (REST) is an architectural pattern that explains the technical underpinnings responsible for the tremendous success of the World Wide Web. The REST pattern and supporting technologies not only support human focused web browser operations but also machine-to-machine information exchanges. In this document we focus on the latter. REST is less complicated than other approaches, easy for developers and users to understand, and easy to implement.
