## What it is
A curated reference list of articles, books, examples, and tools about RESTful API design, collected in a GitHub repository. It aggregates English and Chinese resources covering REST principles, HTTP semantics, status codes, and real-world API examples.

## Use cases
- learn restful api design best practices
- find articles about rest api design principles
- understand http status codes and idempotency
- find real-world rest api examples to study
- learn how to version and paginate rest apis
- find api documentation tools

## When to choose
- you are designing a REST API and want curated reading material
- you want both English and Chinese resources on REST design
- you need examples of well-designed public APIs to learn from

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable library or framework for building APIs
- you want GraphQL or gRPC design guidance
- you need up-to-date resources - the list was last updated in 2021

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, api-framework, developer-tools
- domain: apis, web-development, tutorials, awesome-lists, documentation
- platform: cross-platform
