Abstract:
In the digital era where the information is gathered easily within the people’s
around, technology become more advance nowadays. The same case happened to
developer that are become easier to develop the application, regarding the source and
material that easy to access, as well as for learning deeply for developing progress. Each
of the developer occasionally have their preference for their programming language and
the extensions for the equipment of accomplish. This situation might create a gap
between the developers to integration their data within others. The developer might face
the challenge related to the cross-application platform. Furthermore, the developer has
to master or at least know every update of new programming language, in the terms of
making the other application platform.
From this case, the study discovers that using the REST API can help the
developer’s challenge regarding accessing the data and build the other application
platform. This project will show how important API to unify the different platform
application just by accessing the API link, then the developer can modify the data in
the new platform that are just created. By understanding the API and selecting the better
platform, there is no longer gap between different platform that is helpful for the
developer to switch the application platform, as well as the newcomers that just started
to learn.
