+<div class="paragraph"><p>REST is implemented in Cowboy as a sub protocol. The request
+is handled as a state machine with many optional callbacks
+describing the resource and modifying the machine&#8217;s behavior.</p></div>

+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>First, the <code>init/2</code> callback is called. This callback is common
+to all handlers. To use REST for the current request, this function
+must return a <code>cowboy_rest</code> tuple.</p></div>

+you need.</p></div>

+and return a three-element tuple of the form <code>{Value, Req, State}</code>.</p></div>

+Please look at the flowcharts to find out the result of each return
+value.</p></div>
