It's Fast, It’s Secure and Professional!. Yii comes with rich features: MVC, DAO/ActiveRecord, I18N/L10N, caching, authentication and role-based access control, scaffolding, testing, etc. It can reduce your development time significantly.
### What is a RESTful API?
REST is an architectural style for building APIs. It stands for “Representational State Transfer”. It means when we build an API, we build it in a way that HTTP methods and URIs mean something, and the API has to respond in a way that’s expected.
### Something about OAuth 2.0
The OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework which enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service.
