API Communication Patterns

APIs are how software systems talk — requesting data or actions remotely. Let's explore two fundamental communication styles: REST and RPC.

What is REST?

REST is an architectural style that treats everything as a resource — a user, a product — that you act on with standard HTTP methods like GET and POST.

Key Principles of REST

REST rests on a few principles: resources at unique URLs, standard HTTP methods, stateless requests, and a clean client-server separation.

REST in Practice

In REST, you map actions to HTTP methods: GET /users/123 to read, POST /users to create, PUT /users/123 to update. Responses are usually JSON.

What is RPC?

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is about calling a function on a remote server as if it were local. It centers on actions, not resources.

Key Principles of RPC

RPC focuses on procedures: the API exposes specific functions like getUserById, a client invokes them, and a strict contract (like Protobuf) defines the shapes.

Simulating an RPC Call

In RPC you call a function with arguments and get a result. This snippet simulates calling a remote getUserDataById — over a network in a real system.

public class RpcClient {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Attempting to call remote procedure...");
    // In a real RPC system, this would be a network call
    String userData = getUserDataById(123);
    System.out.println("Received user data: " + userData);
  }

  // This simulates a remote procedure call
  private static String getUserDataById(int userId) {
    // Imagine this method talks to a server
    return "{id: " + userId + ", name: 'Alice'}";
  }
}

Core Difference: Focus

The core split is focus: REST centers on nouns (resources you GET), while RPC centers on verbs (functions you call). That shapes how you design each API.

When to Use Which?

Pick by need: REST suits CRUD, public APIs, browsers, and easy caching. RPC wins for internal microservices, high performance, and strict typed schemas.

Recap: REST vs. RPC

Two styles, recapped: REST is resource-oriented over HTTP, great for CRUD and public APIs; RPC is action-oriented, great for high-perf internal services.
