What Is HTTP/3 and What Does It Mean for APIs?

The majority of APIs today are based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). HTTP has been around for a very long time, in computer terms. It is the protocol underlying the Web and has changed surprisingly little since its inception in 1989. HTTP/1.1 was first standardized in 1997 and since then has been updated, but it was never replaced.

HTTP/2 was released in 2015 but did not change the way HTTP works for HTTP users. The update made the protocol more efficient by changing the way in which HTTP servers and clients communicate. However, HTTP/2 still had some shortcomings which were largely caused by the protocol using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as its foundation.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover landing was a historic moment. It was the first time we saw those moments of a rover landing on Mars. That event was huge for many people watching this on their screens and it will inspire us for years.

Every single image we saw after this landing contains a new surprise and one of those were talks about hidden message found on the NASA Mars rover parachute.
