Compatibility of Enum Vs. string constants
I was recently told that using Enum:

constants/enums in API
What are a few ways constants and enums are dealt with when creating an API Client? I’m writing a client in python for our API and I’ve hit a sticking point with this. We use a lot of mappings to numbers (to save space) and I was wondering what the best technique is. I can hard code them into the client, but if a new enum/constant gets added, the consumer would have to update his version of the client. I also thought about grabbing the maps/enums when the client is first initialized and cached until there is an update. Are these typical approaches, or is there a more effective way to do this?

How to unit test a missing case in a switch statement where all cases are true
I often use enum types in my code with a switch to apply logic to each type. In these cases it’s important that each enum has code implemented.
In what situation do Entity Framework enums become useful?
I am working on a project where there will be plenty of static options being stored in the database. I looked at using Enums for this, but do not see how they could be useful.
