Book Description
The Full-Lifecycle Guide to API Design
Principles of Web API Design brings together principles and processes to help you succeed across the entire API design lifecycle. Drawing on extensive in-the-trenches experience,leading consultant James Higginbotham helps you align every stakeholder on specific outcomes,design APIs that deliver value,and scale the design process from small teams to the entire organization.
Higginbotham helps you bring an “outside-in” perspective to API design to reflect the voices of customers and product teams,map requirements to specific and well-organized APIs,and choose the right API style for writing them. He walks through a real-world example from the ground up,offering guidance for anyone designing new APIs or extending existing APIs.
