# JFW API

The JFW API follows the [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer) principles. It has clear and consistent URLs for different resources, accepts requests with [form-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_\(HTTP\)#Use_for_submitting_web_forms) data, sends responses with [JSON-encoded](https://www.json.org/json-en.html) data, and uses common HTTP standards for response codes, authentication, and methods.
