1. What’s the difference between PUT and PATCH?

  • PUT and PATCH are HTTP verbs and they both relate to updating a resource. The main difference in PUT and PATCH method is the PUT method uses the request URI to supply a modified version of the requested resource which replaces the original version of the resource. PATCH on the other hand supplies a set of instructions to modify the resource.

2. Provide links to 3 services or tools that allow you to “mock” an API for development like json-server

3. Compare and contrast Swagger and APIDoc.js 1 Which HTTP status codes should be sent with each type of (un)successful API call?

apiDocjs and Swagger Inspector can be primarily classified as "API" tools.

  • apiDocjs: Inline Documentation for RESTful web APIs. It creates a documentation from API annotations in your source code.

  • Swagger : Test and Document Your APIs With Ease. It is a free cloud-based API testing and documentation tool to simplify the validation of any API and generate its corresponding OpenAPI documentation.

  • 404 Not found

  • 403 Request is forbidden

  • 500 Internal Server Error

4. Compare and contrast SOAP and ReST

  • SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol whereas REST stands for Representational State Transfer

  • SOAP is a protocol whereas REST is an architectural pattern

  • SOAP only works with XML formats whereas REST works with plain text, XML, HMTL and JSON.

  • SOAP is a standardized protocol that sends messages using other protocols such as HTTP

  • REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It’s an architectural style that defines a set of recommendations for designing loosely coupled applications that use the HTTP protocol for data transmission. REST doesn’t prescribe how to implement the principles at a lower level.

Which 3 things had you heard about previously and now have better clarity on?

  • What the WRRC does and how a backend developer interacts with the WRRC

  • How a callback is used to chain multiple functions together

  • There are a lot of similarities to how API's are written with app.get

Which 3 things are you hoping to learn more about in the upcoming lecture/demo?

  • it would be great to learn more about the middleware and how that interacts with WRRC

  • How compartmentalizing your code makes you a better Software Developer

  • How CI CD is a beneficial role to the Software Developer but also the WRRC

What are you most excited about trying to implement or see how it works?

I am most excited for being able to work with a programing language like react and incorporating that into my JavaScript.
