# API Glossary
An educational and collaborative project with the mission to help define a new API industry.

- Get the foundational knowledge you need to dive right into API use, design, and development.
- Explain APIs and related technology to nontechs, without mumbling something from the RFC.
- Develop your own API using industry leading standards, design patterns and documentation.
