Python for High-Performance APIs

This course is designed for beginner programming students, especially those learning Python. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of two important data formats: JSON and CBOR.

Key Topics Covered:

1. What is JSON:

   • Definition and structure of JSON

   • How and why JSON is widely used for data interchange

2. Why JSON is Used:

   • Advantages and use cases of JSON

   • Practical examples of applications that use JSON

3. What is CBOR:

   • Definition and structure of CBOR

   • Introduction to CBOR as an efficient binary format

4. Why Use CBOR:

   • Advantages and benefits of CBOR compared to other data formats

   • Examples of scenarios where CBOR is more suitable than JSON

5. Differences Between JSON and CBOR:

   • Detailed comparison between the two formats

   • Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each

Practical Project:

As part of the course, you will develop a Python API with routes that use both JSON and CBOR. Using Wireshark, we will perform practical comparisons between the two approaches, measuring response times and analyzing the efficiency of each format.

What You Will Learn:

• How to structure and manipulate data in JSON and CBOR

• Best practices for using these data formats in your applications

• How to develop and test a Python API that supports multiple data formats

• Tools and techniques for analyzing and optimizing data interchange performance

Why Take This Course:

This course will not only provide theoretical knowledge about JSON and CBOR but also offer valuable practical experience, preparing you to apply this knowledge to real-world projects. By the end of the course, you will have a clear understanding of the differences between JSON and CBOR and know how to choose the most suitable format for your needs.
