Searching for a Well Designed API Hihi I'm looking for an example of a well designed api that's a small scope, a lot of places I've tried to learn from are such monoliths that where to start is daunting Preferrably an open source project I'd prefer: REST/gRPC/ contained and hopefully not something huge Go/Rust/Python/js-ts ( in that order!!) Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask! Thank you |
For my personal software I design all my APIs as JSON objects, using TypeScript interfaces for their definitions, and I associate those objects to a service name. So data will look like a parent object with properties data and service where data is the defined JSON payload and service is the name of that data schema. This allows me to use a WebSocket connection for all my various services and it’s so much faster.
