SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

SocialApp API design conventions provide a unified set of REST patterns, error formats, naming rules, and middleware guidelines to ensure consistent backend APIs across services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • REST Patterns: Standardized routes, content negotiation, and authentication guidelines for backend services.
  • Error Handling: Uniform error codes and response shapes to simplify client integration.
  • Naming & Middleware: Clear conventions for handlers, services, routes, and middleware chains to improve maintainability and security.
  • Use Case: When launching a new microservice, apply the conventions to align with existing APIs and reduce onboarding time.

Quick Start

Initialize a new SocialApp backend service following the REST patterns, error formats, and naming conventions.
