An application programming interface (API) is a connection between computers or between computer programs. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software. [1] A document or standard that describes how to build such a connection or interface is called an API specification.
React (also known as React.js or ReactJS) is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library [5] [6] that aims to make building user interfaces based on components more "seamless". [5] It is maintained by Meta (formerly Facebook) and a community of individual developers and companies.
The software is designed for web applications built with front-end JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue.js. [1] Remix supports server-side rendering and client-side routing. [2] Remix has been presented as an alternative to the popular React framework Next.js. [3]
FastAPI automatically generates OpenAPI documentation for your APIs. This documentation includes both Swagger UI and ReDoc, which provide interactive API documentation that you can use to explore and test your endpoints in real time. This is particularly useful for developing, testing, and sharing APIs with other developers or users. [8]
An example of a popular web API is the Astronomy Picture of the Day API operated by the American space agency NASA. It is a server-side API used to retrieve photographs of space or other images of interest to astronomers, and metadata about the images. According to the API documentation, [15] the API has one endpoint:
Redux is an open-source JavaScript library for managing and centralizing application state. It is most commonly used with libraries such as React or Angular for building user interfaces. Similar to (and inspired by) Facebook's Flux architecture, it was created by Dan Abramov and Andrew Clark. Since mid-2016, the primary maintainers are Mark ...
Ext JS is a JavaScript application framework for building interactive cross-platform web applications [2] using techniques such as Ajax, DHTML and DOM scripting. It can be used as a simple component framework (for example, to create dynamic grids on otherwise static pages) but also as a full framework for building single-page applications (SPAs).
API testing is a type of software testing that involves testing application programming interfaces (APIs) directly and as part of integration testing to determine if they meet expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security. [1] Since APIs lack a GUI, API testing is performed at the message layer. [2]
