Best Practices in REST API Design for Enhanced Scalability and Security
Abstract:
This topic provides a comprehensive discussion of proper and practical approaches to building and consuming RESTful APIs, which are fundamental to contemporary web applications. It covers essential elements such as resource naming conventions, selecting appropriate HTTP methods for various requests, ensuring statelessness, handling versioning, and addressing security and performance concerns. The focus is on improving the scalability, maintainability, and security of RESTful APIs. Implementing these best practices can enhance code reuse and help manage potential risks. Additionally, we discuss how developers can be better equipped to design and develop robust APIs by applying these design patterns.
