How users interact with your API is crucial to its success; APIs that use consistent path and routing strategies are easier to use and more compatible with todays systems. The right version control strategy will allow your APIs to grow feature-rich while not adversely affecting your clients. In this course youll distinguish the benefits of REST and SOAP APIs. Youll demonstrate how to both develop and consume them. Next youll discuss the relationship between URIs and URLs. Then youll examine API routing and learn how to use it for API versioning control. Finally youll learn how to use Schema-first design and the OpenAPI Specification to develop APIs.
