In September 2022 a new version of API Platform was released. It comprised some major changes that flipside the development strategy some developers preferred to stick to. In this article Noveo web developer Alexander will describe the new approaches introduced in the v3.
Sometimes developers feel hesitant to use API Platform in their projects, and they are somewhat correct in that regard. Still, this article is aimed to demonstrate that these conjectures are exaggerated and API Platform would serve you as a perfect tool for developing APIs regardless of the size of the application.
In previous approaches, I told you how the idea to summarize the experience in web API development came to my mind. In the first approach, I described the kinds of resources and operations that we meet during web API design. The second part was dedicated to unique URLs allowing to address these resources. In this part I will try to describe various requests and responses.
In this approach we describe different means to create a unique way to resources and methods of your Web-API and about architectural specificities that influence on the look of this way and its components.
Most of developers of web-sites, web-services and mobile applications at some point come to work with the client-server architecture, namely to develop or integrate a web API. To avoid inventing something new each time, it is important to draw out a relatively universal approach to web API design, based on the development experience of similar systems. We would like to introduce you the first, introductory part of the series of articles about this question by our web-developer Vladimir.
