If you want to understand the problem with REST, just look at the discourse in this thread. REST isn’t a standard with a clear RFC, it’s a vague white paper that everyone interprets differently. It has more in common with religion than anything else. And just like religion it has wasted more productive time since it was created than anything else. I’ll never understand why such poorly defined system became the ‘bedrock’ for decades of incompatible and non-standardized APIs. And the somehow these false prophets defend it saying you just don’t understand it when they can’t agree among themselves.
