- Do not add your REST API to the list. This is not a registry of all possible REST APIs, but a list of reources and tools to build and use REST APIs effectively 
- Read [the awesome manifesto](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/master/awesome.md) and ensure your list complies.
- Search previous suggestions before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate.
- Make sure your list is useful before submitting. That implies it having enough content and every item a good succinct description.
- A link back to this list from yours, so users can discover more lists, would be appreciated.
- Make an individual pull request for each suggestion.
- Titles should be capitalized.
- Use the following format: `[List Name](link)`
- If you have a comment about the link, add it after a dash, start it with a capital letter, and end it with a full stop. Avoid starting your comment with an article like "A", "The".
- Link additions should be added to the bottom of the relevant category.
- New categories or improvements to the existing categorization are welcome.

- Make sure your text editor is set to remove trailing whitespace.
