REST is an acronym standing for Representational State Transfer.
Description: A representation of the resource is returned (e.g., Boeing747.html). The representation
places the client application in a state. The result of the client traversing a hyperlink in Boeing747.html
is another resource is accessed. The new representation places the client application into yet another
state. Thus, the client application changes (transfers) state with each resource
representation --> Representational State Transfer!
