> Have you used a web browser? Do you see how it handles known content types from a new website that you haven't previously visited seamlessly without you reading docs and telling it what to do with it?
I want to get my job done with an API, not browse it. I spend most of my time figuring out what order endpoints need to be called in and what data they need to be passed, not what the endpoints are.
The shittiest HTTP APIs I've used had full lists of endpoints but nonexistent documentation of arguments. If HATEOAS solves that I can get behind it, but I don't think it does.
