Example 1: what is resource in rest api

REST architecture treats any content

or dynamic business information.
REST Server gives access to resources
and modifies them, where each resource
is identified by URIs/ global IDs.

REST uses different representations 
to define a resource like plain text,
CSV, HTML, JSON, and XML. XML and JSON
