== Summary ==
Bugzilla 5.0+ has a native REST API, an HTTP version of its XMLRPC and JSONRPC APIs. It is [http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Server/REST.html documented] along with the other WebServices and Bugzilla's internal interfaces. '''This is the preferred way to interface with Bugzilla from external apps''', web or otherwise.
The previous REST API, [[Bugzilla:REST_APIBzAPI|BzAPI]], is considered '''DEPRECATED'''. There is a compatibility layer being created to help transition away from the BzAPI server; see the BzAPI wiki page for more.
