An API is designed to access the features or the functions of an operating system. Creating an API is not always a simple job. It needs a lot of MONEY to be invested. If the API doesn’t work properly due to LACK of maintenance, there are certain THINGS that can go wrong. There are chances of introduction of lots of errors. Because it is possible to integrate applications with each other, an API designed for a specific task might be used for others and thus the future cost can be saved. HOWEVER, this is only possible when the LIFECYCLE of an API is maintained.
