Creating APIs
APIC supports OpenAPI design, multiple security standards, has an extensive repository of Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) Policies, and supports various logic constructs. This really enables developers to develop advanced APIs.
It is practically impossible for a single book to cover every feature and function provided by APIC and all the use cases that it can solve; the concepts discussed in the following sections should make it easier for you to undertake API development with much more confidence. And for the preparation of that journey, you will learn about the following in this part of the chapter:
- OpenAPI design
- Creating a simple proxy API
- Testing APIs
- Variable usage
- Enhancing APIs by applying policies
- Error handling
Let's explore each topic in detail.
