You can tap the sign as much as you want, that battle was lost a long time ago. REST is just the common term people use for HTTP+JSON RPC.

    Why should people do hypermedia if it is too much work? The Web (the prototypical REST application) had a lot of good ideas, not just hypermedia. It certainly makes sense to attribute those good ideas to REST.

  You gotta say RESTful if you want to emphasis RESTfulness. But I personally don't care. I don't mind JSON RPC.

    Then say that? Rest pedants don’t care if you don’t use rest, as long as you don’t call it rest. It’s hardly a difficult concept.

      Yea, but nobody cares what REST pedants think.

  True that. I use it incorrectly with non-technical folk as they may understand what a REST API is, but when I say "it's more like an RPC interface" their eyes glaze over.
