API design patterns provide a shared set of best practices, specifications and standards that ensure APIs are reliable and simple for other developers to use. This book collects and explains the most important patterns from both the API design community and the experts at Google. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eAPI Design Patterns\u003c\/i\u003e lays out a set of design principles for building internal and public-facing APIs. Google API expert JJ Geewax presents patterns that ensure your APIs are consistent, scalable, and flexible. You'll improve the design of the most common APIs, plus discover techniques for tricky edge cases. Precise illustrations, relevant examples, and detailed scenarios make every pattern clear and easy to understand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Guiding principles for API patterns\u003cbr\u003e Fundamentals of resource layout and naming\u003cbr\u003e Advanced patterns for special interactions and data transformations\u003cbr\u003e A detailed case-study on building an API and adding features \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For developers building web and internal APIs in any language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eJJ Geewax\u003c\/b\u003e is a software engineer at Google, focusing on Google Cloud Platform, API design, and real-time payment systems.
