please can we not stretch the definition of hypermedia "API" to include HTML. HTML is a hypermedia type, but it's primarily for representing information for human consumption, so it's not an API in the sense most people understand.. why confuse things?
- steveklabnik 14y agoIt's not stretching the definition: HTML and the web are where RESTful principles are defined from. They're the OG hypermedia API. > it's not an API in the sense most people understand Neither are hypermedia APIs in general.
- AffableSpatula 14y agoI know where REST came from, my point is that - as far as normal people are concerned - HTML web apps are.. apps.. not APIs.
