The use of boolean flags in APIs, like WhatsApp’s security toggle, creates simplistic models that lack granular control and are prone to misuse.
Creating separate endpoints for different security levels enhances traceability and provides easier maintenance, effectively addressing issues stemming from boolean flags.
This 'Remove IF Refactoring' approach leads to better security practices by allowing developers to define explicit behavior for different security contexts.
The simplified security model of boolean flags sacrifices the ability to track and audit, which is critical for robust API security.
