15. Page 15 Initial Data Load Module Webinar-Openbravo, Adrian Romero & Mikel Irurita Development technique. REST web services for Openbravo ERP. Initial Data Load REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It relies on a stateless, client-server, cacheable communications protocol and in virtually all cases, the HTTP protocol is used. Definition of a REST web service: * The base URI: for example http://example.com/resourceshttp://example.com/resources * The MIME type of the data supported by the web service, XML, JSON,... * The set of operations supported using HTTP methods. POST, GET, PUT, DELETE
