How does Lightcast define a skill?
API Management refers to the process of creating, publishing, and overseeing application programming interfaces to ensure secure and efficient interactions between software applications. This skill encompasses the implementation of policies for access control, usage monitoring, and performance optimization, enabling organizations to manage the lifecycle of APIs effectively. Knowledge of API Management is used to facilitate integration between systems, enhance collaboration among developers, and improve the overall user experience by ensuring reliable and scalable API services.
JSON Web Token (JWT) refers to a compact digital token format used to represent claims securely between parties. It is used in application systems to verify identity, carry access information, and support session management across services. The skill involves creating, validating, and handling tokens to help control access and maintain secure communication in software environments.
OpenAPI, formerly known as Swagger, is a specification for building APIs. It allows developers to describe the structure and capabilities of their API in a standardized format that can be easily shared and understood. This enables automatic generation of client libraries, interactive documentation, and code generation for server stubs. OpenAPI provides a way to increase interoperability among different software components and simplify the development process.
OpenID is a single sign-on (SSO) protocol that allows users to authenticate themselves with certain websites and applications without having to remember multiple usernames and passwords. It enables users to use their existing accounts on other websites to log in to a new website or application. OpenID eliminates the need for multiple accounts and simplifies the login process for users while ensuring security and privacy.
SAML is an XML-based protocol used for authentication and authorization purposes in software systems. It allows users to log in once and access multiple systems without having to provide login credentials again. SAML is widely used in enterprise software systems and requires expertise in XML, web technologies, and security.
