API World + Integrate 2016

RAML 0.8 revolutonized the way we design, test, build, document, and share our APIs.  Allowing for code reuse, pattern design, visual editing, easy mocking/ prototyping, and the ability to generate unit tests for test driven development, create documentation, and create SDKs all without writing a single line of code!  RAML 1.0 goes even further in enabling companies with the ability to have a single specification with overlays for your different dev, QA, and production environments.  Libraries allow you to pull in models quickly and easily in a namespaced manner without having to retype all of the code - allowing for reuse not just within your API, but across multiple APIs!  Annotations give you flexibility to include vendor specific items in your RAML specification - without impacting other applications.  And data types will further revolutionize how we plan our APIs, allowing you to focus on the data model and automatically generate schemas/ examples - instead of having to have separate and strict schemas for each content type as you do with some other specifications.  Come learn how RAML makes the entire API lifecycle easy, and how RAML 1.0 makes it developer friendly.
