Comment on Getting hyper about hypermedia APIs

Comments

Sounds like a redefinition of HATEOAS. I don't put URLs as my ID's, but every resource has an "href" value which is the URL which makes it somewhat discoverable by tools such as https://github.com/jed/hyperspider.

"Hypermedia APIs" are just "Real REST." Arguing over terms isn't productive, so many RESTafarians just stopped: http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2012-02-23-rest-is-over

HATEOAS sounds big and scary. "include some links" is much more understandable.
