Web API is usually the most important part in a web app.
This is how you expose your web app to the world, and to other users, and it must be fast, easy to use, and up-to-date.
And currently, we have at least three popular Web APIs we can choose from:
REST API
GraphQL
gRPC
And choosing the best one for your web app is not easy. There are quite a few factors that should be taken into consideration when selecting Web APIs, and this decision usually cannot be reversed.
And this course does just that – it teaches you how to choose the best Web API for your web app.
In this course we’re going to start from the basics, and learn about the basic concepts of each one of the web APIs. We’ll understand what are its goals, why it was created, and which scenarios it serves best.
Then we’ll compare these web APIs and see what are the pros and cons of each one.
And lastly – we’ll take a look at the Web API Flowchart, which will guide you through the decision process of the web API to use.
There is no other course like this! This is the only course that compares the most popular web API and helps you make the most important decision in your web app design.
