The tools listed here support emulating [1] or simulating APIs and software systems.They are also called [2] API mocking tools, service virtualization tools, over the wire test doubles and tools for stubbing and mocking HTTP(S) and other protocols. [1]
Web 2.0 Web APIs often use machine-based interactions such as REST and SOAP. RESTful web APIs use HTTP methods to access resources via URL-encoded parameters, and use JSON or XML to transmit data. By contrast, SOAP protocols are standardized by the W3C and mandate the use of XML as the payload format, typically over HTTP.
REST, or Representational State Transfer, describes a series of architectural constraints that exemplify how the web's design emerged. [1] Various concrete implementations of these ideas have been created throughout time, but it has been difficult to discuss the REST architectural style without blurring the lines between actual software and the ...
Critics of non-RESTful Web services often complain that they are too complex [8] and based upon large software vendors or integrators, rather than typical open source implementations. There are also concerns about performance due to Web services' use of XML as a message format and SOAP/HTTP in enveloping and transporting.
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architectural style that was created to guide the design and development of the architecture for the World Wide Web. REST defines a set of constraints for how the architecture of a distributed, Internet-scale hypermedia system, such as the Web, should behave.
The aim of the research of the model as stated by the author was to find out the relationship between the constraints of REST and other forms of web services. [1] It divides the principal parts of RESTful design into three steps: resource identification , HTTP verbs, and hypermedia controls (e.g. hyperlinks). [2]
GraphQL is a data query and manipulation language for APIs that allows a client to specify what data it needs ("declarative data fetching"). A GraphQL server can fetch data from separate sources for a single client query and present the results in a unified graph . [ 2 ]
In comparison to RESTful protocols, where resource representations (documents) are transferred, XML-RPC is designed to call methods. The practical difference is just that XML-RPC is much more structured, which means common library code can be used to implement clients and servers and there is less design and documentation work for a specific ...
