crossAPI
CrossAPI is a term used to describe approaches and tooling that enable interoperability among disparate application programming interfaces (APIs) across platforms, languages, and protocols. Rather than a single standard, crossAPI refers to a family of patterns and components designed to allow a client or service to consume, orchestrate, or translate between multiple APIs with varying schemas and technologies.
Core components typically include adapters or connectors for each target API, a transformation or mediation layer
Common use cases involve integrating cloud services such as CRM, ERP, and analytics from different vendors;
Challenges include semantic mapping and data transformation complexity, version drift, security risks, latency, error handling across
Relation to standards: crossAPI efforts often leverage OpenAPI or AsyncAPI for contract definitions, JSON Schema for
