API Design Patterns

The books is Very good and talks about how you would use these patterns in a real software. Definitely recommend people to read this to up their API game

I was one of (many) original reviewers of API Design Patterns. I wrote my final quote, "A significant leap in knowledge for API developers! A foundational reference packed full of expert well-thought-out examples, with modern and fully-armored API design patterns." Very true!I wanted to add, that for many of us that have been writing and implementing REST down through the years, we often barely utilize the rich HTTP design patterns available with REST. This book will teach you those techniques and tools that are so often missed. To this date, I wish I had known more about REST custom methods, handling long running operations and handling file based (copy,move) operations... All are here!

A comprehensive analysis of key API patterns that will improve your design skills, leading to consistent APIs that consumers crave. JJ goes into great depth to explain not only why patterns are useful in API design, but why these specific patterns lead to better APIs. This work draws on extensive background across many different APIs. There is great background in useful ways of implementing these patterns. The writing style is well-suited to a technical audience, and the book's organization flows well.

Easy to read, covers many different topics, provided valuable guidance on each.

This book allows You to rethink how You will build and organize API in Your next project!
