Hands-On RESTful Web Services with ASP.NET Core 3

Client-server separation

The main aim of REST services is to decouple the server and the client. This is very important because it helps keep unique business logic and data storage for each client application. Applications are usually distributed across a multitude of different clients, including the web, smartphones, smart TVs, and the IoT. A REST approach helps us prevent logic replication across clients. This means that the client does not have any business logic or storage, and the server does not deal with user interfaces or the presentation layer.
