Pagination is a common technique used in REST APIs to limit the number of items returned in a response and provide a mechanism for retrieving additional items.

Filtering is a technique used to retrieve a subset of data that meets specific criteria, such as by date, category, or status.

API endpoints can be configured to support pagination and filtering using query parameters in the request.

Pagination and filtering can improve performance by reducing the amount of data returned in each request. 

Search and sorting functionality can be used to allow clients to find specific items and order them based on various criteria.

API endpoints can be configured to support search and sorting using query parameters in the request.

Search and sorting can improve usability and user satisfaction by allowing clients to find and order data in ways that meet their needs.

Caching is a technique used to store frequently accessed data in memory or on disk, reducing the number of requests to the server and improving performance.

Optimization techniques such as compression, minification, and combining resources can reduce the size and number of requests made by clients, improving performance and reducing bandwidth usage.

API endpoints can be configured to support caching and optimization using HTTP headers and other techniques.

Caching and optimization can improve performance and reduce server load, particularly for high-traffic or resource-intensive applications.
