Extending object-schema-based application programming interfaces (APIs)

Abstract:

Extending object-schema-based application programming interfaces (APIs) is described. According to one embodiment, a method generally includes receiving, from a user, a schema defining an extension to the API and a reference to a parent node in a graph projection of the API. An API system updates the graph projection of the API to include a node representing the extension and navigable path to the node representing the extension. The API system processes a request from the user by traversing through the updated graph projection of the API, the request representing the navigable path to the node representing the extension.
