Abstract: The REST API that connects the User Interface (UI) to backend systems is crucial in modern application architectures. It's responsible for delivering business logic to users efficiently, securely, and scalably. This UI-facing API layer differs from domain APIs, which interact directly with core backend services or databases. Its specific tasks include shaping data for frontend consumption, enforcing view-level rules, aggregating results from various sources, and optimizing data payloads. Successfully building and maintaining such an API requires careful design, adherence to industry standards, ongoing validation through testing, and close collaboration between frontend and backend development teams. This document serves as a comprehensive guide to designing, building, and sustaining REST APIs that effectively support UI architectures while ensuring high quality, robust security, and long-term maintainability for evolving digital products.
