One thing that evolved over the years is swagger. It is a defined way to document APIs - the endpoint, return type, returning data structure, arguments, behavior, etc.
Microsoft took this as a way to connect different APIs in their logic app (think of workflow definition like an advanced version of ifttt, n8n, ...).
It certainly doesn't remove the need for glue code but it reduces the amount of it!
On the flip side you have up the control of the program flow by using their framework that handles all the connections between APIs.
- skohan 5y agoAll swagger really is is a tool for formalization of HTTP/JSON interfaces. And that's great! Formalized interfaces are really the best way to reduce the need for glue-code and post-processing, since the parties on both sides can agree on the exact target their shooting for.
