Abstract

Various disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for determining whether representational state transfer (REST) application programming interfaces (APIs) are compatible. A method is performed by a processing system that includes a processor. The method comprises obtaining a first REST Chart describing a first version of a REST API and obtaining a second REST Chart describing a second version of a REST API. The method comprises determining whether the first version and the second version are compatible using the first REST Chart and the second REST Chart by determining whether a compatible path exists between the first REST Chart and the second REST Chart.
