Editing Frontend and backend (section)

=== API ===

The frontend communicates with backend through an [[API]]. In the case of [[Web API|web]] and mobile frontends, the API is often based on [[HTTP]] request/response. The API is sometimes designed using the "Backend for Frontend" (BFF) pattern, that serves responses to ease the processing on frontend side.<ref>{{cite web | last=Wickramarachchi | first=Viduni | title=The BFF Pattern (Backend for Frontend): An Introduction | website=Bits and pieces | date=24 February 2021 | url=https://blog.bitsrc.io/bff-pattern-backend-for-frontend-an-introduction-e4fa965128bf | access-date=13 November 2021 | archive-date=27 March 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240327144654/https://blog.bitsrc.io/bff-pattern-backend-for-frontend-an-introduction-e4fa965128bf?gi=f6e22c3d720c | url-status=live }}</ref>
