API architecture refers to the design of an API and how it is organized.
It encompasses the structure of an API and how it is built, including the endpoints, methods, and parameters.

There are a few different types of API architectures that developers can use to create APIs.
The most popular type of API architecture is the REST API.
Other popular types of API architectures include SOAP, XML-RPC, and JSON-RPC.

1. REST
A REST (Restful) API is a web service that uses HTTP requests (GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE) to manipulate data.
A REST API can access resources such as HTML pages, images, and other resources identified by a URL.

2. SOAP
SOAP API refers to the application programming interface for communication in Simple Object Access Protocol.
It defines the rules and standards for how two applications can interact with each other over the internet.
This type of API is often used in web services.

3. RPC
RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call Application Programming Interface.
It is a platform-independent communications protocol that allows different software components to communicate with each other.
RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call Application Programming Interface.
It is a platform-independent communications protocol that allows different software components to communicate with each other.
RPC API is based on the concept of remote procedure calls, which allows a program to execute a procedure or function on a remote machine as if it were local.
Let's show the two most famous examples.

3.1 XML-RPC
XML-RPC is a remote procedure call system that uses XML to encode its calls and HTTP as a transport mechanism.
It is designed to be simple and extensible.

3.2 JSON-RPC
JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON.
It is a simple and lightweight protocol that allows for accessible communication between computers.
