Learning API Styles
Learning API Styles
Book • 0
Learning API Styles takes a network-layer-first approach to APIs, starting from transmission modes and protocol stacks before covering familiar styles like REST and GraphQL.
The book explains synchronous and asynchronous patterns, protocol trade-offs, and implementation details with annotated, reproducible code examples and videos.
It targets architects and developers, mapping the API development lifecycle to implementation, documentation, and retirement stages.
The authors emphasize context-driven trade-offs—security, audience, efficiency, and observability—rather than one-size-fits-all recommendations.
Practical guidance includes examples for HTTP, gRPC, messaging, WebSockets, and emerging transports like WebTransport.
