Nope. Try again. It "basically" says what it says—which is the same thing that the part you quoted from Fielding says—and nowhere does it say that the media type has to be HTML, which is what you (now) seem to be implying (but are unable or unwilling to articulate for some reason).
- ivan_gammel 3y agoHow exactly do you understand the following quote that is part of what you call a „good explanation“? > REST is about completely decoupling the client and server (in terms of prior knowledge) beyond standardized media types (HTML, CSS, JS)
- cxr 3y agoI understand it the way it's written. I don't know what you're looking for here; jcrites is not staying that { HTML, CSS, JS } are prerequisites to REST. They're giving examples of standard media types. If there are other media types for which it is possible to do REST, then those are acceptable, too, of course. But HTML is not a requirement.
