Web API … It’s a concept, not a new technology !!!
Web API exclusively works on HTTP.
It is called or consumed by many different kinds of application like Mobile App, Desktop App, Web Application, and more.
It is built for exposing your data and services to devices using an application programming interface (API) for both the web server as well as the browser.
Web API doesn’t limit us with specific interface or technology in order to interact with users.
It describes a clear set of HTTP requests and responses to extract and send data from the server.
There are several benefits of using APIs, and some of the best are listed as under :
- A web API enhances user experience to a great extent by avoiding unwanted application browsing.
- With a well-organized API Web development, multiple applications can be
merged in a website or application itself.
- It allows communication between disconnected systems.
