Principles of Web API Design de James Higginbotham

Principles of Web API Design: Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Vernon)

Autor James Higginbotham
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2022
This is a comprehensive, start-to-finish guide to the processes required for effective API design. Unlike other books, it covers the entire lifecycle. Leading API and microservices consultant James Higginbotham shows how API development teams can successfully integrate processes that occur before, during, and after API design, to scale API development far beyond single individuals or small teams. Higginbotham addresses REST in depth while also fully covering RPC and graph-based API design, as well as messaging, streaming, and event-based async APIs. Coverage includes:
  • The art of API design, and an overview of the API design process
  • Crafting job stories, conducting EventStorming sessions, and modeling API capabilities
  • Designing APIs that can easily evolve
  • Implementing APIs, and moving to microservices
  • Improving API quality through effective testing, documentation, and protection mechanisms
  • Establishing and maturing your API program: leveraging program and data management techniques that scale
