Concept

HTTP

5 topics cover HTTP across the Foundation 100.

Module 1 · Web Fundamentals

beginner2 min read

HTTP

How clients and servers communicate on the web through stateless request and response messages made of methods, paths, headers, and status codes.

REST APIs

A style for designing web APIs around resources, reusing HTTP methods and status codes so the interface is predictable and any client can consume it.

Module 2 · Node.js & Express Foundations

beginner2 min read

Express.js Framework

A minimal, unopinionated web framework for Node.js that turns incoming HTTP requests into responses through a chain of routes and middleware.

Express Routing

How Express matches an incoming HTTP method and path to a handler, including route parameters and modular routers for organising endpoints.

Module 4 · API Design & Backend Patterns

API Versioning

Evolving an API without breaking existing clients by serving multiple versions, so a breaking change ships as a new version rather than in place.
