“A good API doesn’t expose the internal data models or internal logic too much. And the more your clients are not under your control, the less you want to do that."

Today's clip is from Tech Lead Journal episode 125 with Daniel Luebke, a software architect and the co-author of “Patterns for API Design”.

In this clip, we discussed some API design patterns and best practices taken from his book. Daniel shared the importance of understanding domain requirements for building APIs and several API and message best practices.
