- slver 6y agoFielding has no problem recognizing the web needs one architectural style, and small-grained data APIs need another. The web doesn't need to "die". Our infinite ignorance on what REST is and what it should be used for has to die. Fielding hasn't mentioned the word "API" once in his paper. This entire REST API movement is a paradox that mocks everything he explicitly warned us about in his dissertation.
