Part 2. Designing web APIs

Diving more deeply into methods and choices for designing and implementing great APIs, the chapters in part 2 help the reader create an API with an excellent developer experience. After discussing some guiding principles to help keep your mind-set focused on the developer experience, these chapters cover the process of API creation. The chapters look at the process of determining business value and metrics and designing the API deliberately using schema modeling. Once you’ve completely designed your API, the remaining chapters guide you to the right path to drive your development. Finally, the chapters in part 2 discuss the process of empowering your developers.
