Design C++ API: Data-driven Vs Core-driven

When designing APIs in C++, choosing between Data-Driven and Core-Driven approaches impacts both performance and flexibility. Here's the key difference:

🔹 Data-Driven APIs:

Focus on data manipulation and storage.
Decouple data logic from core operations, allowing for easy adaptation and extension.
Ideal for scenarios where data types and structures change frequently, like in configurations or large datasets.

🔹 Core-Driven APIs:

Focus on the core functionality of the application.
More static in design, with tightly integrated functions and data types.
Best for performance-critical applications where speed and low overhead are paramount.

Choosing the right approach depends on your project’s needs—whether you prioritize flexibility or performance.
