When to Use Salesforce REST API

REST API is a simple and powerful web service based on RESTful principles. 
It exposes all sorts of Salesforce functionality via REST resources and HTTP methods. 
REST API supports both XML and JSON.

For example, you can create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) records, search or query your data, retrieve object metadata, and access information about limits in your Salesforce org. 

  • Because REST API has a lightweight request and response framework and is easy to use, it’s great for writing mobile and web apps.
  • Its advantages include ease of integration and development, and it’s an excellent choice of technology for use with mobile applications and web projects. 
  • For certain projects, you may want to use REST API with other Salesforce REST APIs. 
  • To build UI for creating, reading, updating, and deleting records, including building UI for list views, actions, and dependent picklists, use User Interface API. 
  • To build UI for Chatter, communities, or recommendations, use Chatter REST API. 
  • If you have many records to process, consider using Bulk API, which is based on REST principles and optimized for large sets of data.
