One morning, you realize you have a great idea for an API. You discuss it with your team, then start building out the business case and technical requirements. Where do you go from there? You could write out the business requirements for the API and then code it. Or you could describe your API in a specification language, like OpenAPI, and use that definition to improve your team's understanding of the API and do some early testing. But are either of these the best solution?
The rapid growth in the development and use of APIs shows no sign of slowing down, and the central role APIs play in digital business across industries continues to surge right along with that growth. One recent survey of IT leaders found that 98% consider APIs mission critical, with 81% currently working with microservices and 18% planning to do so soon. The exponential growth in APIs has been such that most software in use today either uses an API or is one.
