# 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 the necessary minimum and be tolerant as possible while consuming another service \([tolerant reader](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TolerantReader.html)\).
