REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for building web services. Follow these principles to design APIs that are intuitive and easy to use:
- •Use standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- •Use meaningful URLs
- •Implement proper status codes
- •Add versioning strategy
- •Document your endpoints
Well-designed REST APIs are easier to maintain and extend. They provide clear contracts between client and server, making collaboration smoother and reducing integration time.
