Client Workflow Overview
vCloud API clients implement a RESTful workflow, making HTTP requests to the server and retrieving the
information they need from the server’s responses.
About RESTful Workflows
REST, an acronym for Representational State Transfer, describes an architectural style characteristic of
programs that rely on the inherent properties of hypermedia to create and modify the state of an object whose
serialized representation is accessible at a URL.
