Yes, that might be true, I can't imagine how it should work without a human making decisions on the fly, but that's not a problem of the format.

- recursivedoubts 5y agoI would say it is not a problem of the format in theory, but it turns out to be one in practice. And that using HTML rather than JSON when explaining REST and HATEOAS would be a much more natural approach.
- k__ 5y agoThe second article you linked here makes a much stronger case than the first one. If HATEOAS doesn't work without a human, it's essentially useless for API design.
- recursivedoubts 5y agoI agree, the second article is deeper. The first is an attempt to explain HATEOAS in terms of HTML.
