## API Docs
This library is a part of WebFiori Framework. To access API docs of the library, you can visid the following link: https://webfiori.com/docs/webfiori/http .
## Terminology
Following terminology is used by the library:
| Term | Definition|
|:------------:|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|
| Web Service | A single end pont that implements a REST service. It is represented as an instance of the class `AbstractWebService`. |
| Services Manager | An entity which is used to manage a set of web services. Represented by the class `WebServicesManager`. |
| Request Parameter | A way to pass values from a client such as a web browser to the server. Represented by the class `RequestParameter`. |
## The Idea
The idea of the library is as follows, when a client performs a request to a web service, he is usually intersted in performing specific action. Related actions are kept in one place as a set of web services (e.g. CRUD operations on a reasorce). The client can pass arguments (or parameters) to the end point in request body as `POST` or `PUT` request method or as a query string when using `GET` or `DELETE`.
An end point is represented by the class [`AbstractWebService`](https://webfiori.com/docs/webfiori/http/AbstractWebService) and a set of web service (or end ponts) are grouped using the class [`WebServicesManager`](https://webfiori.com/docs/webfiori/http/WebServicesManager). Also, body parameters represented by the class [`RequestParameter`](https://webfiori.com/docs/webfiori/http/RequestParameter).
## Features
* Full support for creating REST services that supports JSON as request and response.
* Support for basic data filtering and validation.
* The ability to create custom filters based on the need.
## Installation
