REST, which some architects view as a simpler alternative to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Services Description Language Web services, has become a popular Web application program interface (API) model over the years. A RESTful API, or RESTful Web service, uses both HTTP and REST.

@FLEX - JWT is a method of authenticating a user to use your API.
JWT: JSON Web Tokens does what it says, it uses a token associated to a user to authenticate.
Therefor REST isn't similar to JWT, but rather two different things.

Simply put, REST API provides an interface for Web applications or applications that need to connect to each other via the Internet to communicate.
I have written an article about what is rest and why I think it is the next big thing in IT industry.
