| Title | Client-Optimized Resource Representations in APIs |
|---|---|
| Level | Five-In-Five |
| Abstract | When we build resource representations in our APIs, we ought to think about the types of clients that will be consuming our APIs, and their preferences. Due to the obvious constraints, a mobile client won't appreciate the same rich response payload that your enterprise partner's server-side system may request. Tailoring responses for different kinds of clients is key to API usability. There are good ways of doing it and lesser ways of achieving the same. I will show-case an approach that has certain advantages and will try to explain those advantages. |
