In the last issue, we explored various API architectural styles, each with its unique strengths. Despite the many options, REST remains the most popular. However, its popularity doesn’t imply simplicity. REST merely defines resources and the use of HTTP methods. To master the art of crafting REST APIs, we need to follow certain guidelines to ensure that we design efficient, user-friendly APIs.

The Richardson Maturity Model (RMM) helps us distinguish good from bad API design by assessing how closely an API aligns with the REST framework. In the next issue, we’ll explore how to construct a shopping cart API and study the Stripe payment API redesign.
