# API First
|
|
|
|
Everyone **MUST** follow the **API First** principle.
|
|
|
|
The API first principle is extension of contract-first principle. Therefore, an development of an API **MUST** always start with API design without any upfront coding activities.
|
|
|
|
**API description is the master of truth, not the API implementation.**
|
|
|
|
API implementation **MUST** always be compliant to respective API description which represent the [contract](./contract.md) between API and it's consumer.
