API Protocols

The document outlines various API protocols including REST, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, Webhooks, WebSockets, MQTT, AMQP, EDA, EDI, and SSE, highlighting their key features and use cases. Each protocol serves distinct purposes, such as real-time communication, data querying, or message queuing, making them suitable for different application scenarios. The document also encourages following creators who share valuable insights on these technologies.

API Protocols

1. REST (Representational State Transfer)

- An architectural style for designing networked applications.

- It emphasizes stateless communication, the use of standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and

resources identified by URLs.

2. GraphQL

- A query language for APIs that allows clients to request exactly the data they need, nothing more and nothing

less.

- This efficiency is a major advantage over REST, where endpoints often return fixed data structures.

3. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)

- A protocol for exchanging structured information in the form of XML messages over a network.

4. gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call)

- A high-performance, open-source framework for remote procedure calls (RPCs).

- It uses Protocol Buffers (a compact binary format) for data serialization.

5. Webhooks

- A mechanism for real-time communication between applications.

- A webhook is essentially an HTTP callback triggered by a specific event in one system, which sends a notification

to another system.

6. WebSockets

- A protocol providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection.

- WebSockets enable real-time data exchange between a client and a server.

7. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport)

- A lightweight publish-subscribe messaging protocol designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable

networks.

- It is commonly used in IoT (Internet of Things) applications.

8. AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol)

- An open standard protocol for message-oriented middleware.

- AMQP provides features like reliable message delivery, routing, and queuing, making it suitable for enterprise

integration scenarios.

9. EDA (Event-Driven Architecture)

- A software architecture pattern where applications react to events (e.g., user actions, sensor readings).

- EDA promotes loose coupling and scalability.

10. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

- A set of standards for exchanging business documents (e.g., purchase orders, invoices) electronically between

organizations.

- EDI is widely used in supply chain management and logistics.

11. SSE (Server-Sent Events)

- A server-push technology that allows a server to send updates to a client over an HTTP connection in a

unidirectional manner.
