Answering Questions about API
Benefits of using an API?
- More efficient
- Easier to automate and integrate
- Easier to personalize
- Can add in programs/databases a lot easier than rewriting the entire code
Benefits of backend implementation
- Automates server-side development (increases efficiency)
- Easier to edit databases and servers stored
