US 2026/0300042 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR MODULAR APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE (API) NAMESPACES

Abstract

Aspects of the technology disclosed herein are related to implementing modular API namespaces. Modular API namespaces can be configured to have a modular nomenclature that includes API namespaces that are grouped or associated to specified functionalities. Modular API namespaces can be dynamically added and are not required to utilize sequencing rules of semantic versioning. Additionally, aspects of the technology disclosed herein are related to implementing development mechanisms that are designed to leverage the nomenclature and capabilities of modular API namespaces. For example, a querying mechanism for modular API namespace is provided which supports searches for modular API namespace that is based on a development key (e.g., indicating a presence and/or implementation state of the API namespace) which is directed to the modular and dynamic functionality of the APIs (e.g., asynchronous delivery of OS related features within a version release).

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

at least one processor;
a memory device storing instructions, which, in response to being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform:
receiving a modular application programming interface (API) namespace defining a group of APIs;
accessing a map associating the modular API namespace to a contract comprising computer-executable components;
identifying, based on the map, at least one computer-executable component for the group of APIs;
and
loading the at least one identified computer-executable component.
