Recently, I decided to revisit API design and picked up a few books to read, so I will list the books I've read.
List of API Design Books
I will list them in recommended reading order.
- Web API: The Good Parts
- You can learn the fundamental concepts of general API design.
- I feel this book serves as a textbook-like position in API design literature, similar to readable code.
- Web API Design
- While Web API: The Good Parts focuses more on implementation, this book covers more about the design phase prior to that.
- You can learn about the approach to designing APIs.
- Web API Testing Techniques
- Various methods for testing APIs are introduced.
- You can learn about API testing strategies and techniques.
- API Design Patterns
- In addition to API design principles, you can learn about practical design patterns.
- It is recommended to read this after Web API: The Good Parts and Web API Design.
