Mark Masse is a Senior Director of Engineering at ESPN and lives in Seattle. Mark has fourteen years of experience with The Walt Disney Company in engineering, management, and architecture.
A well-designed REST API is a must-have feature in a market where rival online services fight for attention. REST API Design Rulebook by Mark Masse gives a set of API design standards based mostly on best practices that adhere to the REST architectural style of the Web. Along with URI design and HTTP usage regulations, you'll learn about media kinds and representational forms.
REST APIs are common, yet few of them adhere to a standard design philosophy. You will create web service APIs that adhere to accepted web standards by following these easy criteria. Author Mark Mass explains the Web Resource Modeling Language (WRML), a conceptual framework he developed for the design and implementation of REST APIs, to help you.
- Learn the design principles for addressing resources using URIs.
- Design principles should be applied to HTTP request methods and response status codes.
- Work with the guidelines for transmitting metadata via HTTP headers and media formats.
- Learn how to develop client programs to meet their demands, including the unique requirements of browser-based JavaScript clients.
- Learn why REST APIs should be defined and configured rather than programmed.
