The Registry REST API basically facilitates the capability to perform the CRUD operations via the well-defined HTTP protocol on the registry resources and its attributes such as tags, properties, associations, etc. The REST API uses the GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations of the well-defined HTTP protocol to do the CRUD operation via any REST Client. Google Chrome's Advanced REST client is one of the client tools used to test the functionality of the Registry REST API.
