In case you have not caught on by now, I’m a bit of a language geek. I like to ruminate on languages, how well they express ideas, and how we use them, and how the structure and capabilities of languages change the way we think and how we solve problems. This is what my Language of APIs series is all about.
Today, I’m “going meta”. I’m not going to talk about how languages (like the OpenAPI Specification and JSON Schema) describe specific API concepts and artifacts, but rather how we talk about APIs themselves. In other words, I want to explore the Ubiquitous Language of APIS.
The ubiquitous language is the vocabulary or set of terms that are pervasive and well-understood within the domain.
