Can you explain the concept of API-first development?
API-first development is a software development approach that prioritizes the design and development of the Application Programming Interface (API) before the actual implementation of the user interface or other components. This approach promotes reusability, flexibility, and efficiency in building web and mobile applications. By designing and developing the API first, developers can ensure a well-defined and consistent interface that can be consumed by different clients such as web browsers, mobile apps, and other systems.
