SchnittstellenAPIs
SchnittstellenAPIs, also known as Interface APIs or Application Programming Interfaces, are essential components in modern software development that define how different software components interact. They act as a contract or a set of rules that specify the methods and data formats that one software system can use to communicate with another. This enables modularity and interoperability, allowing developers to build complex applications by combining smaller, independent services.
The primary purpose of an SchnittstellenAPI is to abstract the underlying complexity of a service or application.
There are various types of SchnittstellenAPIs, with REST (Representational State Transfer) and SOAP (Simple Object Access
By providing well-defined SchnittstellenAPIs, software providers can expose their services to a wider audience, fostering innovation
