Very few people refer to the pedantic HATEOS version of "REST" when referring to REST these days (it's really just a repetitive no true scotsman argument now) , and that's fine. Almost nobody implements it as part of what's now considered a restful api.
- danellis 9y agoWhat is the non-HATEOS version of REST? Can you usefully define it?
- jholman 9y agoIn practice it means "HTTP, plus certain conventions about Method and Path that David Heinemeier Hansson happens to like". I still cannot figure out why anyone would ever want to meet such a standard, other than to trick the ignorant.
