APIs Are For Human Beings
|
In this Twilio Engineering blog article, Frank Stratton makes the point that computers don’t care about API design. APIs should be designed for human beings first and computers second. Using example Web APIs developed at Twilio, he talks about the need for having many eyes and minds see the design first, simplifying the surface area of your API, and how it is easy to add new calls but hard to remove existing ones.ABOUT THIS SITE
