Book Description
About the Book
In this compact and practical guide, Mike Amundsen shares a proven design pattern for safely evolving API response payloads without triggering downstream failures. Starting with a clear look at strong, weak, and “mild” typing styles, the book introduces a resilient approach using structured extensions and runtime accessors that allow APIs to grow gracefully over time.
Whether you’re maintaining legacy services or building future-facing systems, this book gives you the tools to design messages that are stable, flexible, and ready for change.
