Web API

web apiの設計という本をまとめる なぜ読もうと思ったか？ 自分がIT企業にエンジニアとして就職するから。また、研究でデータベースを作っているが、そのAPIの設計に役立てられると思ったから。大学の図書館で借りた本だけど、一周してみて良本だったら自分で買おう。ということでさっさと読みましょう。 1章 APIとは何か？APIの設計はなぜ重要か？APIの設計は何を意味するのか？うーん、わかりきっていることですね。 No, a function is not an API (Application Programming Interface) in itself. A function is a self-contained block of code that performs a specific task or operation. It encapsulates a set of instructions that can be called and executed when needed. Functions can take input parameters and return values or perform actions without returning a value. On the other hand, an API refers to a collection of functions, protocols, and tools that allow software components to interact with each other. APIs define the interfaces and rules for communication between different software systems, enabling them to exchange data and execute specific operations. In essence, an API encompasses a set of functions or methods, along with the associated rules and protocols, that define how different software components can communicate and interact with each other. Functions themselves are building blocks within an API that provide specific functionality or perform specific tasks. と思って、じゃあライブラリはAPIだよね？って聞いたら、 ...
