I find REST APIs a bit annoying, primarily because of caching behaviour. For example, if I have a GET on a list of resources and then PATCH a particular resource from the list, the browser will still keep the old list in cache and not update (with the newly patched resource) till the cache expires. For this reason, I just use my own json APIs using POST requests (to bypass the cache) with some application specific caching in the browser via indexedDB - it's not that much more work, but the experience is significantly better for the user.
