Like any complex task, it tests the limits of our attention and memory. There are many different rules and tradeoffs to consider during Java API design. The task of designing a web service or API that adheres to the REST guidelines then becomes an exercise in identifying the resources that will be exposed and how they will be affected by the different request methods. After reviewing hundreds of actual SaaS APIs, many up to par and others distinctly subpar http://www.apibook.com/blog/archives/95 API Design for C++. With that in mind, she could design her API like so: Tags: api, api-design, javascript . Even though I live in the C++ world as opposed to Java, 99% of this is directly applicable. Similar to the pilots' pre-flight checklist, this list helps software designers remember obvious and not so obvious rules while designing Java APIs. The strictly virtuous thing to do would be to take the time to have a lot of discussions and design a brand new C++ API that would remain stable for the future. Posted on September 14, 2011 by Stefan Reinalter. I keep getting back to some references on the best practices for C++/Java API design so I decided to summarize them all here for future reference. The style of software programming interfaces can impact the behavior, abilities, security, and ease of use of stop-consumer applications. Like this: Like Loading This entry was posted in Core and tagged asynchronous, C++, file, file alias, file device, file system, game engine, synchronous by Stefan Reinalter. Coming from an c++/C# background, this is more my style of development. As a result, APIs are not well designed or properly built and wind up costing both the vendor and its customers tens of thousands of dollars in ongoing maintenance due to infrastructure costs and the drain on engineering resources. For C++/Java/.NET, provide custom exception classes. Building upon the low-level API introduced in an earlier post, we will take a look at the platform-independent high-level API today, which provides support for the things that are to be expected from a game engine file system. Sue is designing a JavaScript library, Magician.js. If you are designing a C API, have each function return a success/error code.
