## What it is
A curated awesome-list of resources for designing and implementing RESTful APIs, covering design guidelines, HTTP status codes, authentication, and JWT. It is a reference collection of links rather than runnable software.

- you need authoritative API guidelines from major companies
- you are learning REST API concepts from scratch

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable library or framework
- you want GraphQL or gRPC resources specifically
- you need up-to-date tooling rather than reference links
