🚀 API Design Principles: REST, GraphQL & Versioning for Beginners

Embark on a journey to master API design! This video breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand explanations perfect for beginners. We'll explore the core principles behind building robust and scalable APIs that developers will love.

First, we dive into RESTful APIs, uncovering the fundamentals of stateless communication, resource-based URLs, and proper HTTP method usage (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). You'll learn how to design REST APIs that are both efficient and intuitive. Then, we'll compare REST with GraphQL, highlighting its flexible querying capabilities, single endpoint advantage, and strong type system for precise data fetching.

Finally, we'll tackle API versioning strategies, ensuring your APIs remain compatible and maintainable as they evolve. Learn the pros and cons of URL path versioning, query parameter versioning, header versioning, and content type versioning.

Whether you're a budding developer or looking to refine your API design skills, this video is your comprehensive guide! 💻🔑 Get ready to level up your API game!
