API Design Study Repository 🚀

Welcome to the API Design Study Repository! This project is a hands-on exploration of API design patterns, covering REST API, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, Webhook and Websocket implementations across four popular frameworks: Node.js, Golang, Symfony, and Spring Boot.

✨ Features

• REST API: Comprehensive study of HTTP methods, request/response handling, and best practices.
• GraphQL: Efficient data retrieval with GraphQL schemas, resolvers, and queries.
• gRPC: Implementation of Protobuf-based gRPC server-client communication.
• Webhook: Automated HTTP callbacks for real-time event notifications.
• WebSocket: Full-duplex communication channels for real-time data exchange over a single TCP connection.

---

🌐 Frameworks Covered

• Node.js: JavaScript runtime for building scalable APIs.
• Golang: Lightweight and fast language for robust API services.
• Symfony: PHP framework with structured components and rich tools.
• Spring Boot: Java-based framework tailored for microservices and enterprise APIs.
