In the REST architecture, every content is a resource. It can be a text file, HTML pages, images, videos, or business data. These resources are identified by the URI or global ID’s which can be used by the REST client to access or modify.

The most used representation of the resources is XML and JSON. Resources can also be grouped into a collection of the same type.
