Consuming REST web services

Almost all applications today connect to a server to persist data. Some are connected, meaning an active Internet connection is required, whereas others have only offline data, with a local database on the device. Many utilize a combination of offline-online applications with an implementation of data syncing.

In this recipe, we will demonstrate how to connect to a REST web service and perform CRUD operations in a connected architecture application.

REST (short for Representational State Transfer) is not a protocol or a specific implementation of a design pattern, but you can think of it as an architectural style that relies on a stateless, client-server, cacheable communications protocol, and in most of the cases the HTTP protocol is used. REST is the standard architectural style of most web services that you will see today.
