CloudEvents HTTP Protocol Binding is one of 12 APIs that [CloudEvents](https://apis.io/providers/cloudevents/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include HTTP, Protocol Binding, and REST. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

The HTTP protocol binding defines how CloudEvents are transported using HTTP, including structured content mode where the entire event is in the HTTP body, and binary content mode where event attributes are mapped to HTTP headers. This enables REST APIs to produce and consume standardized events.
