Talk about a getting lost in semantics rant. If you want to make your API "RESTful" like this person describes, there is JSON-LD. Most engineers are going to look at all the extra JSON as getting in their way. What was the point of this rant again?

And not being 100% REST-spirit-compliant does not prevent from using tools like OpenAPI to document it.
