Mid REST API

How do you optimize the performance of a RESTful API?

  • Reduce payload size (use JSON instead of XML, compress responses).
  • Implement pagination for large datasets.
  • Apply caching at multiple levels.
  • Use async I/O (non-blocking calls).
  • Minimize database calls (batch queries, stored procedures).
  • Enable GZIP compression on responses.
  • Profile and monitor using APM tools (New Relic, Application Insights).
