Hey developers,
With Fusion our mission has always been to empower developers with seamless API design, testing and documentation. We began with REST as one could expect. REST is quite popular due to its simplicity, ease of use, and compatibility with many web standards.
At the same time, as the API landscape evolves rapidly, we want to stay ahead by supporting other protocols.
The first ones that we will be adding:
A. GraphQL: Known for its flexibility, GraphQL allows clients to request only the data they need, avoiding over-fetching or under-fetching. It’s ideal for front-end applications that need precise, efficient data queries and where performance optimizations are critical.
B. gRPC: This high-performance, binary-based protocol is great for environments where low latency is important, such as microservices architectures or real-time communication. With gRPC, you get contract-first APIs with strong support for multiple languages.
C. WebSockets: Perfect for real-time, bi-directional communication, WebSockets are mostly used in applications like live chats, notifications, and multiplayer games. Unlike traditional request-response protocols, WebSockets allow continuous streams of data with minimal latency.
D. Async APIs: Asynchronous APIs come into play when event-driven architectures are a necessity, such as message queues or event streams. If your systems need to process events or handle long-running processes, async APIs are the go-to choice.
and more to follow...
We'd Love Your Input! What are your thoughts on which protocols we should add next? Let me know in the comments!
