I had a general question. I'm currently going to be working on a team to build an API in Java and I have no idea where to start. I've never built an API before and I've had no instruction in the matter.The things I know:
The API must be built in Java
The API must accept (parse) JSON
The API must translate the accepted JSON into another language
The API must send information back to the client in XML format
I know it's not a lot to go on, but if there are any beginners guides you can give me or if you could specify functions that all API's have I'd be extremely grateful. I'm also not really sure how to parse either. I really just know that parsing is reading in information. Thank you.
