The whole "REST is good and everything else is dumb" is something I've tried to help people get away from for about a decade. These days it's GraphQL is good and everything else is dumb. See some of the comments in here. > I wish anything built on REST would die. Conflation of the envelope and the payload is idiotic and adds only pain, no value. Anyway, a reasoned conversation about where REST can be useful even today: https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/rest-and-hypermedia-in-2019 https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/rest-and-hypermedia-in-2019 And a technical comparison for when people need it: https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/understanding-rpc-rest-and-graphql https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/understanding-rpc-rest-and-... And when those technical differences can come in useful or just be annoying: https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/picking-the-right-api-paradigm https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/picking-the-right-api-parad...
