Recently I have been working on an API and wound up running into an issue where a third party application would happily take “Invalid” XML and continue on the way. The main culprits were out of spec acceptance of boolean and date fields.

Recently I was working on the API gateway and ran into an issue while trying to use Auto Mapper. It was working well until I was trying to map some XML from one name space to another.

Recently at work I was tasked to build an API gateway. Now an API gateway is a rather simple thing, create a copy of the interface objects, move them to a new name space, grab automapper so you don’t have to write tedious manual mapping code then throw it out on a server.
