Building RESTful Web Services with .NET Core

When we encounter the word interface, the first thing that comes to our mind is decoupling. We create interfaces to have loosely coupled architecture, and the same type of architecture is seen in the case of RESTful.

While implementing REST, we use the same concept to decouple the client from the implementation of the REST service. However, to implement such a decoupling between the client and the service, standards are defined that every RESTful service supports.

Note the word standard in the preceding line. We have so many services in the world and, obviously, the consumers outnumber the services. As a result, we have to follow some rules while designing the services because every client should understand the service easily ...
