Python Programming for Arduino

RESTful web applications with Arduino and Python

In the previous exercise, we implemented the GET and POST requests using the web.py library. These requests are actually part of the most popular communication architecture of the World Wide Web (WWW) called REST. The REST architecture implements a client-server paradigm using the HTTP protocol for operations such as POST, READ, and DELETE. The GET() and POST() functions, implemented using web.py, are functional subsets of these standard HTTP REST operations, that is, GET, POST, UPDATE, and DELETE. The REST architecture is designed for network applications, websites, and web services to establish communication through HTTP-based calls. Rather than being just a set of standard rules, the REST architecture ...
