Design-first

Design-first is an approach that focuses on planning and designing the API before coding. A design-first approach enables the creation of an API blueprint that includes endpoints, data points, and interactions. Benefits of this approach include identifying and addressing potential issues early on and enabling better collaboration between clients and developers.
