Everyone will agree, for a true Software Engineer, this channel is the most fruitful & addictive drug to learn new concepts in a crystal-clear manner.

The animations truly convey meaning and not extraneous This takes a lot of skill to get right Kudos

the technologies on this page are at somewhat different layers of the protocol stack. SOAP is a pure encapsulation format (last I looked which was long ago) that can run on any transport, RESTful is HTTP-dependent, as is WebSocket, which does not define an encapsulation for transactions it just connects TCP sockets together on an HTTP proxy, gRPC is a protocol compiler meant to translate a language interface (think of it like a C++, Python, or Java interface) into the code to create the binary bits on the wire (or wireless), a process called marshalling or serialization / de-serialization. gRPC is transport independent but typically runs on TCP or UDP. GraphQL is a language that can specify json schema queries and it can minimize large transactions on the connection - good for phones or bandwidth-limited devices.

Amazing animations and outstanding explanations. I wish I had this sort of educational videos years ago! Thank you very much for sharing this. You have earned a new follower!

I really miss in-depth videos :(

Awesome video and tutorial!! I really appreciate the way you break these architectures down so that I can get a great high level understanding of them!! Outstanding! Be well, be safe and Cheers!

I am absolutely impressed with the simple, clear, and elegant illustrations! It’s superb! Thank you for sharing.

You were very clear, visibly clear, and straight to the point. Thanks for this video and explanation.

Beautiful animations!! Amazing commentary that really compares so well.

Very good, concise and accurate explanation of the most frequently used types of APIs. Awesome job! I'll be directing my students to your site. 👍

appreciate your effort in bringing these videos, simplifying concepts, kudos to your work!

This is awesome, the animation is meaningful and helpful while also being pleasing to the eye. Thank you!

Spot on. Short, clear, and understandable. Congrats

Loved this! I am not heavily involved with APIs but wanted to learn more. This was perfect. Thanks!

Very helpful and to the point, thank you for this excellent content!

great succinct straight to the point no fluff... excellent content! subbed.

Thank you. It helps to understand the basic differences.

I am overwhelmed by this video Thank you so much

You are going to be a big channel, lots of love and support ❤ Keep up the great work

great video. Simple easy to understand, straight to the point

You sir have helped me understand a lot of things. Love the channel

Thank you - this was so helpful!!!

wonderful Sir, You doing great Job, I always loves to watch your videos

Insightful breakdown of API architecture styles! Appreciate the concise overview. Valuable resource for understanding different approaches to building APIs. Thanks for sharing!

Really helpful the way this was explained thankyou!

Amazing video for an overview understanding of different API styles. I am a Data Engineer with 3 years of experience and I got a similar question on why I used REST API instead of SOAP or any other APIs. This video helped me there to explain my POV. Huge respect to the content creator who seamlessly explained all the 6 concepts in a niche manner!

Thank you for sharing this much of information.

I really love your graphics! ❤ It's one of the reasons I just watch them one by one. :-))

Thanks for the quality content.

Clean, neat, and to the point.

Excellent explanation, simple and clear.

Thanks for the recommendation. I added both books to my Amazon reading list.

Please make more videos. You're literally the GOAT

Great & informative ! Thank u.

Thanks for making high quality education video free

Thank you so much for such an informative video, This will help upcoming engineers understand when to use what.

great explanaition, thanks!

This is straight forward and clear

Never regret subscribing your channel great content 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great Video and Animations are very understandable

Love the animations !

Wonderful video!! TYSM 👐

Love the animated diagram!

Thank you very good summary🙂

Thanks for the useful information

Great distinctions, It's a unique video. Thanks for clearing these out. Additionally, can you present them in clear distinct points based differences on a single TABLE for all these APIs under various grounds? Because it looks like some of them overlap one another under certain criteria. It will be great to have a clear point based differentiation represented on a table! Thanks. It will be great to see them stand together while comparing before the eyes under various domain based scenarios & environments. Thanks 👍

Real nice! Thank you :)

Great content. Succinct, with very helpful illustrations. Well done! You have a new subscriber

Cool ! Thank you.

Perfect. Thanks!

Great job at explanation and presentation

great video, thanks!

I use Restful & Webhook in my software. Thanks for this video

I am from Brazil. I loved your video!!!

Cool, thanks for explanation!

Great video! Bravo!

👍Great video! Thanks for sharing...

I love your videos!

Top-notch explanations

Great summary ✅

There's also Serverside events. Which may not be an architecture for API but it does opens up an option to send unidirectional data without having to touch websockets

Thanks bro, it's very useful information.

Love this!

Good video, to the point

Great video! Great animations! (for curiosity are you using Manim for animation?)

bro i love your brain, thank u for this !!!

Woooow, powerful video ❤

The best video. It would be great if you could please provide an in-depth video on the network OSI model.

视频动画真的不错。谢谢Alex!!

Thanks for this

Fantastic video

I do like these videos!

Thank you .. please give us some examples to deeply understand how to use API's

Excellent!

Thanks always.

Thank you!

Great videos to explain about the distinction between API styles. However I am not sure if WebHook is an API style. It is more like notification or part of event-driven architecture and usually implemented using RESTful API. Also, WebSocket is more like a communication protocol rather than "API".

Amazing stuff

Great Explanation!! What tools did you use to create the animations?

It's very useful for, I can learn more with the assiento of ChatGPT.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge :)

Thank you.

Awesome video.

I believe you might be conflating API architectures with API implementations. For instance, GraphQL could be categorized along with any variant of SQL or Redis commands, as they all facilitate data retrieval using a query language. Similarly, WebSocket could be grouped with other session-oriented, two-way communication alternatives, such as basic TCP sockets, or you could hava mentioned various flavors of RPC. Additionally, RESTful and SOAP could be classified together under the umbrella of web services that employ the request/response pattern. Webhooks may possibly fit into this same category, although I'm not entirely certain. Lastly, you appear to have omitted queuing or messaging/queuing systems like Apache Kafka (very popular).

Thank you

Super good movie. Thx a lot.

masterful

🔥😍 thanks

Other issues with graphql is lack of caching, and your frontend and backend become very tightly coupled as changing property names means you have to update both. This becomes even nore trouble if you have more frontends

You are awesome!

A damn good video... This is a damn good video!

Great video

hey this is perfect

Love it :)

love this. im bout to be 10X

Outstanding video as usual! Please arrange another video for data migration strategies

thank you

well explained

The explanation with meaning animations made the concepts to understand easily like.👍 curiuos to know what tool/software being used to make these animations?

There is also tRPC and OData. WebSocket is not really a style, else you should include SSE.
