Abstract
Abstract
Distributed information systems predominantly have client-server
architectures, as does the Web itself. In this article, we review the
evolution of the interface of client-server distributed systems, from
Messaging and RPC systems that predate the Web, to RESTful Web APIs. We
highlight the often overlooked importance of the client-server interface in
Web applications, and we reference historic and current systems to discuss
the roles of “Web Service” technologies and Service-Oriented Architectures.
Considering the future, we point out four directions in which we can see Web
APIs moving, including the incorporation of hypermedia and semantics.
