REST handlers
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Purpose
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REST is a set of constraints that, when applied to HTTP, dictates how
|
||
|
|
resources must behave. It is the recommended way to handle requests
|
||
|
|
with Cowboy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REST is implemented in Cowboy as a protocol upgrade. Once upgraded,
|
||
|
|
the request is handled as a state machine with many optional callbacks
|
||
|
|
describing the resource and modifying the machine's behavior.
