So I need to read this-that-and-the-other to really understand REST, and many other people misunderstand and misimplement pseudo-RESTful services. This implies that the 'standard' is too complicated and nuanced to be useful. What's the point of a lingua franca for web services if most people are too stupid to understand it?
- zeveb 9y agoSome things really are complex. Most things really do require understanding.
- bmn__ 9y agoThe designers of the Web (the formalisation of its architectural style is called REST, there is no 'standard') first and foremost cared that it works well. If it's more difficult to understand than RPC, so be it. Make an effort, that never hurt. If more people would make an effort, we would have less articles with infuriating clickbait headlines arguing against strawmen, like the original one by Chambon.
