The use of APIs has continued to increase in the past year with the continuing development of the API economy. APIs are not new, of course, but they have risen to particular prominence recently through their association with mobility and the cloud. APIs offer access to sophisticated services that can be explored through very simple applications. This is ideally suited to mobile devices, which are now generating a large market for mashups that bring together and integrate APIs from diverse services.
