Defining variability schemas in an application programming interface (api)

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions which, when executed on one or more processors, performs an operation for managing variability in an application programming interface (API), the operation comprising:
• receiving, from a user, a definition of a variability schema and context information associated with the variability schema, the variability schema representing a variation of one or more properties defined in an application programming interface (API);
• linking the variation and context information to the one or more properties defined in the API;
• receiving a query to perform one or more actions using the one or more properties;
• matching context information associated with the query to the context information associated with the variability schema;
• and
• processing the query using the variation of the one or more properties.

A computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed on one or more processors, performs an operation for managing variability in an application programming interface (API), the operation comprising:

• receiving, from a user, a definition of a variability schema and context information associated with the variability schema, the variability schema representing a variation of one or more properties defined in an application programming interface (API);
• linking the variation and context information to the one or more properties defined in the API;
• receiving a query to perform one or more actions using the one or more properties;
• matching context information associated with the query to the context information associated with the variability schema;
• and
• processing the query using the variation of the one or more properties.
