Description

A well-designed REST API is essential in today's competitive market. This concise guide presents a set of API design rules based on best practices that adhere to the Web's REST architectural style.

Learn how to apply these simple rules to create web service APIs that follow recognized web standards, using guidelines for URI design, HTTP use, media types, and representational forms. The book also introduces the Web Resource Modeling Language (WRML), a conceptual framework for designing and implementing REST APIs.

Understand how to address resources with URIs, work with HTTP's request methods and response status codes, convey book details through HTTP headers and media types, and design for client programs, including browser-based JavaScript clients. By following these principles, you'll be able to design REST APIs that are well-configured, not just coded.
