Restful Service in WCF

REST = Representational State Transfer, is an architecture design to represent resources.

any thing you build using REST constraints, you do it on Web using HTTP. Following are the HTTP methods which are useful when creating REST Services.

HTTP Methods

GET - Requests a specific representation of a resource
PUT - Creates or update a resource with the supplied representation
DELETE - Deletes the specified resource
POST - Submits data to be processed by the identified resource
HEAD - Similar to GET but only retrieves headers and not the body
OPTIONS - Returns the methods supported by the identified resource
