In this blog post I’ll describe the magic which stays behind <code>$resource</code>. I decided to write this blog post because of my recent experience in StackOverflow. One of the most misunderstood components of AngularJS was exactly the <code>$resource</code> service. <code>$resource</code> is two levels of abstraction above the XMLHttpRequest object (ok, may be three if we count <code>$httpBackend</code>). I’ve illustrated the usage of <code>$resource</code> through example which can be found at <a href="https://github.com/mgechev/angularjs-resource">GitHub</a>.</p>
