    REST API provides a powerful, convenient, and simple REST-based web services interface for interacting with Salesforce. Its advantages include ease of integration and development, and it’s an excellent choice of technology for use with mobile applications and web projects. For certain projects, you may want to use REST API with other Salesforce REST APIs. To build UI for creating, reading, updating, and deleting records, including building UI for list views, actions, and dependent picklists, use User Interface API. To build UI for Chatter, communities, or recommendations, use Chatter REST API. If you have many records to process, consider using Bulk API, which is based on REST principles and optimized for large sets of data.

    Salesforce provides a Rest API for integration with other services such as Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, MailChimp, etc. Integrating with these services is much simpler with Rest API. This is so because these services come with millions of users and if we use Rest API for integration, the performance will be much better. Salesforce is a powerful platform and it offers lots of integration out of the box. There’s no doubt it is the most cost-effective and scalable way of integrating with Salesforce. If you need help in understanding the philosophy behind the Rest API and see why they are better than the toolkit integration, then reach out to a Salesforce consultant immediately. The top salesforce consultants will provide you with the correct information as per the market and can assist you during integration.
