A RESTful API is an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data.
A RESTful API — also referred to as a RESTful web service — is based on representational state transfer (REST) technology, an architectural style and approach to communications often used in web services development.
Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) makes it easy to develop modern REST interfaces for relational data in the Oracle Database, Oracle Database 12c JSON Document Store, and Oracle NoSQL Database. A mid-tier Java application, ORDS maps HTTP(S) verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) to database transactions and returns any results formatted using JSON.
