Representational State Transfer (REST) API Using RESTCONF

The ExtremeXOS implementation of Representational State Transfer (REST) uses RESTCONF as defined in RFC 8040.

RFC 8040 imposes a structure on REST APIs so that they are implemented in the same manner across any device. This style of REST API is called RESTCONF. This allows network management systems and applications communicating with devices to not have to use different APIs for each device type. RESTCONF dictates a standard definition allowing communication with a wide variety of devices using the same API.
