PUT or POST? How should I design URLs? How should I version my API? How to PATCH my JSON? How to validate? I’ll try to answer questions like this, either by explaining the best practices or pointing you to couple of valuable resources. Moreover, I will try to also show you that all this is rather API craft than API design. Future brings the real challenges: usecase oriented interfaces, evolvable servers, adaptable clients. No more deprecated API versions, broken client apps and frustrated client developers!
