The term REpresentational State Transfer (REST) came from Chapter 5 of Roy Fielding's PhD Dissertation and originally referred to a request and response expressed entirely in hypermedia. Over time, however, these responses can to be encoded in JSON, and though not technically REST, is what tends to be called REST today. It's what I have been calling (and will probably continue to call) REST today. This article, though, is a good read that sets the record straight. Via Peter Murray / boost by Scott Leslie.
