While SOAP-based web services form the backbone of most legacy web service implementations, RESTful APIs have become the de facto standard for cloud-native microservices development.

In this 10-question RESTful web services quiz, we will test you on how to develop REST-based APIs, how RESTful web services leverage the HTTP protocol and how to structure URLs and URIs in order to create a uniform interface for client-server based interactions across the web.

Good luck!
