Is $http service is restful web service in angularjs?

What is $http service in angularjs?

The $http service is a service that provide the communication between the remote HTTP servers using the browser's XMLHttpRequest object or JSONP.

The $http is normal Ajax  form and it can be used for any form of Web Service.

Specifically for RESTful service, we are using $resource. 

The $resource Is useful to consume RESTful Service and $resource is high level abstraction of $http.

The $resource is developed on the top of $http service.

For example for RESTful service

var app = angular.module("myApp", ['ngResource']);

app.controller("RESTfullCtrl", ['$scope', '$resource', function ($scope, $resource) {

    $scope.employees = [];

    var emp = $resource('/employee/:employeeId', { employeeId: '@employeeId' });

    // GET Action Method

    emp.get({ employeeId: 0112 }, function (data) {

            $scope.employees = data;

    });

}]);

Hope this help you. Thank you.
