Drupal 8 is having additional features like web services. In previous versions of drupal it is very difficult to work with web services. Hence new version of drupal made easier to work with web services.
REST Concept:
Web services allow access for external applications to interact with our application. The web services mainly work on read, create, update, delete the records or resources.
REST is most popular way to work with web services. REST is compatible with Drupal. There are also other formats that can be used SOAP or XML-RPC. REST uses HTTP methods, such as GET, POST, and DELETE.
The Drupal 8 can use web services in following modules:
RESTful Web Services (rest):
This method uses sources RESTful API with dependency on Serialization module for the serialization of data that is sent to and from the API.
