The 10 REST commandments

Hi all, I've spent the past 10 years building and using various REST APIs. My language of choice is PHP and more recently Laravel. At this point, I’ve probably built more than 100 of them and as you might imagine the first ones weren't that great 😂 I’ve done and seen a lot of good APIs but also quite a few bad ones as well.

Because of that, I’ve decided to write down what I think are 10 REST API commandments every developer should follow in order to build a great REST API. Regardless of the language, you use and the amount of experience you have. Follow these guidelines and start building better REST APIs.

You can read the full article, it’s a long one, right here: https://treblle.com/blog/the-10-rest-commandments

Please do let me know your thoughts, questions, or suggestions on what I should change and update. The goal is to create a definite guide all us can follow but also for me to become better at writiing
