SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardizes REST API conventions across Go/Fiber and Python/FastAPI backends to reduce drift, improve reliability, and accelerate backend development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • URL conventions and resource naming to standardize endpoints, nesting, and versioning.
  • Response envelopes & error formats to provide consistent shapes for success and error responses.
  • HTTP status mappings & middleware ordering to align runtime behavior and security across services.
  • Use cases include designing new endpoints, auditing API consistency across services, and generating clear documentation with Swagger annotations for both Go and Python backends.

Quick Start

Design a new endpoint for a resource following the REST conventions described here to ensure consistency across your services.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize REST API conventions across Go and Python backends?

To standardize REST API conventions across Go/Fiber and Python/FastAPI backends, apply uniform rules for URL patterns, response envelopes, and error formats to reduce drift and improve maintainability.

What is the best way to design consistent response envelopes and error formats for FastAPI?

Designing consistent response envelopes and error formats for FastAPI involves standardizing the JSON shapes for both success and error outputs. This ensures uniform error reporting and consistent runtime behavior across your services.

How do I set up middleware ordering and HTTP status mappings for Go/Fiber APIs?

Setting up middleware ordering and HTTP status mappings for Go/Fiber APIs requires aligning runtime behavior and security layers. Standardizing the middleware stack ensures consistent request processing and uniform HTTP status responses.

Can I use this approach to audit API consistency across multiple microservices?

Yes, you can audit API consistency across multiple microservices by reviewing endpoint designs against standardized REST conventions. This process checks URL patterns, response envelopes, and Swagger annotations to identify drift.

How do I generate Swagger annotations for Go and Python backends?

To generate Swagger annotations for Go and Python backends, apply standardized documentation rules during endpoint design. This produces clear API documentation that aligns with your URL conventions and response formats.
