While discussing the JAX-RS APIs in the previous chapter, we covered the resource class and the resource class methods in RESTful web APIs. If you need a quick brush-up on this topic, refer to the Annotations for defining a RESTful resource section in Chapter 3, Introducing the JAX-RS API. In this section, you will get introduced to two new concepts, namely subresources and subresource locators in REST. You will find them very useful while designing well-structured RESTful web APIs.

Overview of this book
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a simple yet powerful software architecture style to create lightweight and scalable web services. The RESTful web services use HTTP as the transport protocol and can use any message formats, including XML, JSON(widely used), CSV, and many more, which makes it easily inter-operable across different languages and platforms.
This successful book is currently in its 3rd edition and has been used by thousands of developers. It serves as an excellent guide for developing RESTful web services in Java.
This book attempts to familiarize the reader with the concepts of REST. It is a pragmatic guide for designing and developing web services using Java APIs for real-life use cases following best practices and for learning to secure REST APIs using OAuth and JWT. Finally, you will learn the role of RESTful web services for future technological advances, be it cloud, IoT or social media.
By the end of this book, you will be able to efficiently build robust, scalable, and secure RESTful web services using Java APIs.
