amazon web services – AWS API Gateway: REST API vs HTTP API

What is the difference between AWS API Gateway REST API vs HTTP API? Why would you use one over the other. What different functionalities does each support?

The documentation says:

API Gateway REST API A collection of HTTP resources and methods that
are integrated with backend HTTP endpoints, Lambda functions, or other
AWS services………Each API resource can expose one or more API
methods that have unique HTTP verbs supported by API Gateway.

API Gateway HTTP API A collection of routes and methods that are
integrated with backend HTTP endpoints or Lambda functions….Each route can expose
one or more API methods that have unique HTTP verbs supported by API
Gateway.

However I cannot make much sense out of this.
