Representational state transfer (REST) or RESTful web services is a way of providing interoperability between computer systems on the Internet. Use JSL to communicate with a RESTful application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE data. For example, you can get data from a web service and return it as a data table. Some web services are Amazon Web Services (AWS), DropBox, and Text-Processing.com.
Notes:
• Strings that contain “&” are truncated. “+” is converted to a space.
• New HTTP Request() supports redirects, for example, from HTTP to HTTPS.
