Adopting AEPs for your company

By adopting the guidelines from the API Enhancement Proposals, you establish a much tighter and efficient possibility space. APIs that follow the AEP guidance from the design stage:

  • are more consistent within and across teams, reducing cognitive load for API consumers
  • reduce arguments about API design decisions, thanks to the AEP specification, tools, and exemplar design patterns

Having an AEP-compliant API also means benefitting from the AEP ecosystem of tooling, such as:

  • Linters and validators to ensure adherence to the AEP design specification (proto/openapi)
  • A dynamic command line interface generator that make it easier to work with APIs (aepcli)
  • Client-side and server-side code generators (aepc)
  • … and more! Please start a discussion if there is something you wish to see, validate, or prioritize.
