# Robustness
Every API implementation and API consumer MUST follow Postel's law:
> "Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept."
> – [John Postel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle)
That is, send as little as possible (minimize the API surface) and be tolerant as possible while consuming another service ([tolerant reader](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TolerantReader.html)).
