1. What’s the difference between PUT and PATCH?

PUT and PATCH are HTTP verbs and they both relate to updating a resource. The main difference in PUT and PATCH method is the PUT method uses the request URI to supply a modified version of the requested resource which replaces the original version of the resource. PATCH on the other hand supplies a set of instructions to modify the resource.

2. Provide links to 3 services or tools that allow you to “mock” an API for development like json-server

Mock server https://www.mock-server.com/
Postman https://www.postman.com/
Insomnia https://insomnia.rest/

3. Compare and contrast Swagger and APIDoc.js 1 Which HTTP status codes should be sent with each type of (un)successful API call?

apiDocjs and Swagger Inspector can be primarily classified as “API” tools.

apiDocjs: Inline Documentation for RESTful web APIs. It creates a documentation from API annotations in your source code.
Swagger : Test and Document Your APIs With Ease. It is a free cloud-based API testing and documentation tool to simplify the validation of any API and generate its corresponding OpenAPI documentation.
404 Not found
403 Request is forbidden
500 Internal Server Error

4. Compare and contrast SOAP and ReST

SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol whereas REST stands for Representational State Transfer
SOAP is a protocol whereas REST is an architectural pattern
SOAP only works with XML formats whereas REST works with plain text, XML, HMTL and JSON.
SOAP is a standardized protocol that sends messages using other protocols such as HTTP
REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It’s an architectural style that defines a set of recommendations for designing loosely coupled applications that use the HTTP protocol for data transmission. REST doesn’t prescribe how to implement the principles at a lower level.

Document the following Vocabulary Terms

Web Server: A web server is a computer software and underlying hardware that accepts requests via HTTP.

Express: A minimal and flexible Node.JS web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.

Routing: The process of selecting a path for traffic in a network or between or across multiple networks.

Which 3 things had you heard about previously and now have better clarity on?

What the WRRC does and how a backend developer interacts with the WRRC
How a callback is used to chain multiple functions together
There are a lot of similarities to how API’s are written with app.get

Which 3 things are you hoping to learn more about in the upcoming lecture/demo?

it would be great to learn more about the middleware and how that interacts with WRRC
How compartmentalizing your code makes you a better Software Developer
How CI CD is a beneficial role to the Software Developer but also the WRRC

What are you most excited about trying to implement or see how it works?

I am most excited for being able to work with a programing language like react and incorporating that into my JavaScript.
