They communicate across a network. This lets each evolve independently.\n2. **Statelessness.** Each request from client to server must contain all information needed to understand and process it. The server stores no session state about the client. This means any server can handle any request, which makes load balancing trivial.\n3. **Cacheability.** Responses must explicitly label themselves as cacheable or not. A cache is a temporary store of data. When a response is cacheable, a client or intermediate server can reuse it later without asking the origin server again. This reduces load and improves speed.\n4. **Layered system.** A client cannot tell whether it is connected directly to the end server or to an intermediate (a proxy, a gateway, a load balancer). Layers can be added, removed, or changed without the client knowing.\n5. **Uniform interface.** All resources are identified the same way, manipulated through the same operations, and described with the same message format. On the web, this means URLs identify resources, HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) manipulate them, and responses carry representations (usually HTML or JSON).\n6. **Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State (HATEOAS).** This is the constraint most people ignore. It means that every response from the server contains not just data, but also links to the actions the client can take next. The client does not need to know the URL structure in advance.
