Hi Pam,
After taking a look at the other best practices on this page. I realized that
this is more like a specification than best practices because we'd like to
enforce them to all the ONAP components. I moved this page to
https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/RESTful+API+Design+Specification+for+ONAP
Agree that some of the projects may not redesign the existing API for
back-compatible reason, We can maintain the old version while designing the new
version in parallel. It's possible that both the old and new version can be
provided to the ONAP clients.
Thanks,
Huabing

Huabing,
Thanks, I agree and feel this is very valuable. There is no formal best
practices for RESTful API, albeit a few websites that do a fairly good job at
making suggestions.
I think this detailed information should probably be in the section located
here:
https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Developer+Best+Practices
Gildas has been including such details as part of his presentations, and its
part of the checklist template.
We would perhaps also need to be aware for R1 that some projects may not be
able to re-design quite yet. They may have to support their current API version
until an appropriate time to deprecate it in lieu of new API conforming to
standards.
Thanks,
Pam

Subject: [onap-discuss] RESTful API Design Best Practices for ONAP
Microservices
Dear ONAPer,
Most of the projects have already been approved in Beijing meeting or will be
approved in this week's TSC meeting, we're starting the development phase of
release 1 right now. I went through the API documents of a bunch of existing
projects, it seems to me that there's no consistent approach for Restful API
design and some of the APIs are not very appropriate. So I‘d like to suggest
that we could figure out a unified approach across ONAP projects for the
Restful API design before jumping into the coding job.
I have worked out a draft as the start point for discussion on this wiki page :
https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/RESTful+API+Design+Best+Practices
I hope we could discuss in the community and reach consensus in one or two
weeks. Then I'd like to propose to TSC using it as a guideline for all the
projects.
What do you think about it? Please feel free to share your idea in the
comments of the wiki page so we can improve this draft quickly.
Thanks and Regards,
Huabing
