Proven Patterns for Designing Evolvable High-Quality APIs--For Any
Domain, Technology, or Platform APIs enable breakthrough innovation
and digital transformation in organizations and ecosystems of all
kinds. To create user-friendly, reliable and well-performing APIs,
architects, designers, and developers need expert design guidance.
This practical guide cuts through the complexity of API
conversations and their message contents, introducing comprehensive
guidelines and heuristics for designing APIs sustainably and
specifying them clearly, for whatever technologies or platforms you
use. In Patterns for API Design: Simplifying Integration with
Loosely Coupled Message Exchanges, five expert architects and
developers cover the entire API lifecycle, from launching projects
and establishing goals through defining requirements, elaborating
designs, planning evolution, and creating useful documentation.
They crystallize the collective knowledge of many practitioners
into 44 API design patterns, consistently explained with context,
pros and cons, conceptual solutions, and concrete examples. To make
their pattern language accessible, they present a domain model, a
running case study, decision narratives with pattern selection
options and criteria, and walkthroughs of real-world projects
applying the patterns in two different industries. Identify and
overcome API design challenges with patterns Size your endpoint
types and operations adequately Design request and response
messages and their representations Refine your message design for
quality Plan to evolve your APIs Document and communicate your API
contracts Combine patterns to solve real-world problems and make
the right tradeoffs "This book provides a healthy mix of theory and
practice, containing numerous nuggets of deep advice but never
losing the big picture . . . grounded in real-world experience and
documented with academic rigor applied and practitioner community
feedback incorporated. I am confident that [it] will serve the
community well, today and tomorrow." --Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Frank
Leymann, Managing Director, Institute of Architecture of
Application Systems, University of Stuttgart
