- 1You're throwing around a lot of "laws" here, but at the end of the day, it's just a façade, so the problem amounts to "what is convenient, both for the end user and the programmer."Robert Harvey– Robert Harvey2016-07-27 17:30:54 +00:00Commented Jul 27, 2016 at 17:30
- @RobertHarvey Not laws but principles. Principles are not mandatory. Those principles ammount to more maintainable code, which is convenient for both end users and programmers.Tulains Córdova– Tulains Córdova2016-07-27 17:34:44 +00:00Commented Jul 27, 2016 at 17:34
- The thing is, for the end user I want it to be a god object of sorts. I want them to instantiate my API class, and be able to make any API call that they want to on that object.Spencer Wood– Spencer Wood2016-07-27 17:48:24 +00:00Commented Jul 27, 2016 at 17:48
- 2@SpencerWood You might be right that "any API call from that object" is desirable to your users, but I rather doubt it. Often two or three objects will get you a good amount of conceptual segregation without forcing the user to grapple with a 20 object API. Finding a sweet spot is tricky, Think of the old ADO API. You could do almost anything you needed to with only "Connection" and "Recordset".Mike– Mike2016-07-27 18:06:02 +00:00Commented Jul 27, 2016 at 18:06

How to Format

like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
