Do you read books in the field where you think you’re an expert or have years of experience?
I do it just to check if there’s something new in the topic or if I have some bad habits I need to fix.
I just finished this book: Designing APIs with Swagger and OpenAPI (no affiliate link https://tinyurl.com/yxn9r8uw). I think it’s one of the best books on the topic — I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a refresher or is a junior developer.
In fact, you’ll learn how to:
- design APIs
- document APIs using the OpenAPI standard
- use query parameters
- implement pagination
- use JSON Schema
- test your APIs
I think this book is a great complement to Principles of Web API Design: Delivering Value with APIs and Microservices.
Reading both gives you a well-rounded perspective.
