Implementation of RESTful API Web Services Architecture in Takeaway Application Development

Abstract

The Covid-19 that hit the world had an impact on the economy, especially in the trade sector, one of which was experienced by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Hanura Takeaway (Haway) is an SME engaged in the delivery of goods and food. To facilitate transactions for goods and food delivery services, it is necessary to develop applications that simplify the transaction process. In developing web services, it is necessary to exchange data that is accessed via standard internet protocols. Therefore, we need a web service in developing this application. Implementing a RESTful API web service will certainly facilitate the development of software applications outside the system or with different programming languages or platforms. This research will develop web service architecture using RESTful API in Takeaway application. To optimize the URI, several parameters are used, including filtering, sorting, selection and pagination. The Takeaway application consists of a website as a backend and an Android-based as a frontend. From the test results based on the function method using the Postman application, it shows that the REST API Sever built on the server has been running well. In testing the response time using the Apache JMeter application, the application shows a good response time. Meanwhile, the comparison of responses and requests to SOAP and REST architectures shows that REST takes faster time.
