@sallamar Talking about the many “REST” APIs out there that miss the hypermedia constraint. Do you make peace w/ them, too? I mostly do.

via Echofon in reply to sallamar

@sallamar Not sure if the eBay API is the most representative example for HTTP interfaces. It’s complex, but most HTTP APIs are dead-simple.
