About Rest Web Service

REST is a modern easy-to-use application program interface (API) based on a widely adopted architectural style. The services provide users with seamless access to NetSuite record metadata, support API discoverability, offer link-based navigation and give users a uniform approach to interacting with both custom and standard records.
