This article makes so much sense and has finally explained what REST is to me. I tweeted a similar comment about thinking "Everyone says REST but no one knows what it means" earlier this year. I had joined a web company and was studying up the definition in the interview. Of course they say they have a REST API and of course it doesn't contain links. I noted that as a violation with a sense of imposter syndrome and inconfidence in myself. When I got into the company I asked people what REST means and asked about the 'links within the response' trait. No one had heard of it. This article is exactly what I was looking for at that time. FIOH!
