This learning path covers key API technologies and methodologies. It starts with REST, the widely-adopted architectural style for networked applications, and encompasses various essential aspects of API development. The path explores API security, testing, and documentation practices crucial for robust implementation. It addresses API versioning and practical implementation in Node.js, a popular JavaScript runtime. It also covers modern paradigms: designing APIs for microservices architecture, leveraging GraphQL for flexible data querying, and utilizing gRPC with Protocol Buffers for efficient, language-agnostic communication. This path provides a comprehensive overview of current API design and development practices, from RESTful services to high-performance RPC frameworks.
