How to Design a REST API (Best Practices & Standards)

REST API design involves creating and structuring APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) based on the principles of Representational State Transfer (REST).
It focuses on creating scalable, interoperable, and maintainable interfaces for web services.

Key aspects include using standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for CRUD operations, employing resource-based URLs, stateless communication, and utilizing various data formats like JSON or XML for data exchange.

Designing a RESTful API simply setting of guidelines and best practices to ensure that the API is well-structured, easy to use and follows the principles of REST (Representational State Transfer).

Well-designed APIs are essential for building successful and scalable applications.
