Modern API Development with Spring 6 and Spring Boot 3

RESTful Web Service Fundamentals

In this chapter, we will go through the fundamentals of RESTful APIs (or REST APIs for short) and their design paradigms. We will take a brief look at the history of REST, learn how resources are formed, and understand methods and status codes before we move on to exploring Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State (HATEOAS). These basics should provide a solid platform to enable you to develop a RESTful web service. You will also learn the best practices for designing application programming interfaces (APIs).

This chapter will also introduce a sample e-commerce app, which will be used throughout the book as you learn about the different aspects of API development.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Introducing REST APIs
  • Handling resources and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
  • Exploring Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) methods and status codes
  • What is HATEOAS?
  • Best practices for designing REST APIs
  • Overview of an e-commerce app (our sample app)

Description

Spring is a powerful and widely adopted framework for building scalable and reliable web applications in Java, complemented by Spring Boot, a popular extension to the framework that simplifies the setup and configuration of Spring-based applications. This book is an in-depth guide to harnessing Spring 6 and Spring Boot 3 for web development, offering practical knowledge of building modern robust web APIs and services. The book covers a wide range of topics that are essential for API development, including RESTful web service fundamentals, Spring concepts, and API specifications. It also explores asynchronous API design, security, designing user interfaces, testing APIs, and the deployment of web services. In addition to its comprehensive coverage, this book offers a highly contextual real-world sample app that you can use as a reference for building different types of APIs for real-world applications. This sample app will lead you through the entire API development cycle, encompassing design and specification, implementation, testing, and deployment. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to design, develop, test, and deploy scalable and maintainable modern APIs using Spring 6 and Spring Boot 3, along with best practices for bolstering the security and reliability of your applications and improving your application's overall functionality.

Who is this book for?

This book is for novice Java programmers, computer science graduates, coding boot camp alumni, and newcomers to the realm of creating real-world web APIs and services. It is an invaluable resource for Java developers transitioning to web development, offering an all-encompassing introduction to web service development. If you possess knowledge of fundamental programming constructs, data structures, and algorithms in Java but lack practical web development experience, this book will serve as a bridge to cultivate the essential skills for entry into the role of a web developer.

What you will learn

  • Create enterprise-level APIs using Spring and Java
  • Understand and implement REST, gRPC, GraphQL, and asynchronous APIs for various purposes
  • Develop real-world web APIs and services, from design to deployment
  • Expand your knowledge of API specifications and implementation best practices
  • Design and implement secure APIs with authorization and authentication
  • Develop microservices-based solutions with workflow and orchestration engines
  • Acquire proficiency in designing and testing user interfaces for APIs
  • Implement logging and tracing mechanisms in your services and APIs

I had the privilege of getting an exclusive preview of this book before its official release, and let me tell you, I've been in dire need of this book since last year!For those familiar with Packt's books, you know they consistently deliver well-crafted content with detailed explanations catering to readers of all levels. As a developer who relies on books for quick references, I appreciate the clarity and conciseness demonstrated in this book. It covers a wide range of topics, including RESTful Web Service Fundamentals, Spring and API concepts, API implementation, Writing Business Logic for APIs, API design, Security, Testing, Deployment, and more.The Unit Testing section, in particular, resonates with me as it aligns with my current focus at work. As a new FullStack developer, grasping numerous concepts in a short timeframe can be overwhelming. However, this book, alongside resources like ChatGPT and Stack Overflow, empowers me to swiftly access the information I need, presented with excellent explanations.Sourabh Sharma, the author, has skillfully established a foundation that developers of all levels can leverage to learn efficiently. If you have the chance and are on the lookout for a valuable addition to your developer toolkit, this is a great book.

I came accross this book while migrating my Spring Boot application from V2 to V3. This book covers a wide range of topics, including database integration, security, testing, and deployment, ensuring that readers have a well-rounded understanding of API development with Spring and Spring Boot. The language is easy to understand and the topics covered mainly on GraphQL is very helpful. One aspect I particularly appreciate is the attention to detail in the code examples. It's a must read if you are beginning to understand SB3

I was able to get an exclusive peek into this book prior to its release and let me tell you this...I NEEDED THIS BOOK LIKE LAST YEAR! LOL!First of all, if you are familiar with books from Packt, then you know they are usually solid compositions with details to help even the most novice of readers. As a developer who loves using books as a quick reference, I love the simplicity and conciseness that which this book displays. Whether you are looking to understand RESTFUL Web Service Fundamentals, Spring and API concepts, API implementation, Writing Business Logic for APIs, API design, Security, Testing, Deployment, and more, this book has you covered. I particularly love the Unit Testing section as it is something I am doing more of at work for now. As a new FullStack developer, trying to understand so many concepts in such a short time can seem daunting. Yet, this book allows me, along with ChatGPT, Stack Overflow, etc., to find the information I need quickly and with great explanation. The author, Sourabh Sharma, clearly lays out a foundation on which developers from all levels can build upon while learning as efficiently as possible. If you have the opportunity, and are looking for a book to have in your developer toolkit, this book is a must-have!!!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
