Server API discussion #55

Closed 4seer closed 4 years ago

4seer commented 4 years ago

Provide your propositions on the server API we should use.

Our current vision is to pick up one of the open source e-commerce platforms available there:

  1. WooCommerce
  2. Magento Community
  3. Presta Shop

Join discussion to identify the best platform to start with.

I visited API doc pages of these sites and found that PrestaShop wants developers to define API by themselves. This option seems to be too difficult in our case IMHO. So I am against Presta Shop. I like WooCommerce documentation form. It is clear and easy to use and understand. https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#introduction So as for me, I would prefer WooCommerce

Additionally, I want to mention that we can start with one of these projects, but then can add others (even written by ourselves)

4seer commented 4 years ago

Besides that WooCommerce seems to have one of the biggest communities. And, yes, having a clear documented API is a big advantage.

I have read this blog which provides a comparison between these platforms and i also checked the APIs and its documentation, I too think WooCommerce will be an excellent choice.

rkBoahene commented 4 years ago

WooCommerce has a comprehensive api documentation compared to magento, so i'd suggest we go with that.

4seer commented 4 years ago

So let`s proceed with WooCommerce.
