Best practices for building APIs:
1.	APIs are forever
2.	Never break backward compatibility
3.	Work backward from customer use cases
4.	Create APIs with explicit and well-documented failure modes
5.	Create APIs that are self-describing and have a clear, specific purpose
6.	Avoid leaking implementation details at all costs
