[edit] Description 

Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style whereby Web services are accessed through URLs instead of RPC API calls. In Bungee Connect, you use the HTTP class to make a get request; an XML document is returned. You use XMLDocObject to parse the data that is returned.

When you access a REST web service through the Bungee Builder development environment, you send a URL to the web service, which returns an XML string.
