APIkiszolgáló

An APIkiszolgáló, which translates to "API server" in English, is a type of server that hosts and manages Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Its primary function is to act as an intermediary between a client application and a backend system or database. When a client application needs to access data or functionality from the backend, it sends a request to the APIkiszolgáló. The server then processes this request, retrieves the necessary information from the backend, and sends it back to the client in a structured format, typically JSON or XML.

APIkiszolgálók are crucial for modern software development, enabling different applications and services to communicate with each other seamlessly. They abstract away the complexity of the backend systems, providing a simplified and standardized way for developers to integrate with them. This allows for modularity, scalability, and easier maintenance of software architectures. Examples of common APIkiszolgáló implementations include web servers running frameworks like Node.js with Express, Python with Flask or Django, or Java with Spring Boot, all configured to expose RESTful or GraphQL APIs. The security and performance of the APIkiszolgáló are paramount, as it handles all incoming requests and sensitive data.
