It's never used in RESTful APIs, which is what I mean.
- dragonwriter 13y agoAlmost none of REST is used in most "RESTful" APIs except incidentally, because "RESTful" APIs are usually simple RPC-over-HTTP, and have nothing to do with REST. OTOH, there are RESTful APIs that actually try to use REST, including HATEOAS, such as PayPal's [1].

- aashishkoirala 13y agoThanks for the link to PayPal's API. I would be curious to know if doing pure HATEOAS like that has reaped any specific benefits for them.
