• Key Concepts: 
  Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style for creating web services. It is based on the principles of Representational State Transfer (REST) and uses HTTP methods to access and manipulate data. REST is a lightweight, stateless protocol that enables clients to access resources on a server without having to maintain a session or connection. 
  
  How to use it: 
  REST is used in the SAP Cloud Platform Cloud Foundry (CF) component to provide a secure, reliable, and scalable way to access and manipulate data. The CF component provides an API that allows developers to create applications that can access and manipulate data stored in the cloud. The API also provides authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using REST in the CF component, it is important to ensure that all requests are properly authenticated and authorized. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all requests are sent over a secure connection. This will help protect the data from unauthorized access.
