So I'm a so-called "full stack engineer" and the definition I've internalized is that a REST api is essentially about modeling the entities in your application and defining what actions can be taken on each (with consistent use of verbs). And a "hypermedia api" approach is more about modeling behavior. As an example, an api for AirBnB's mobile website might expose a /srp endpoint that can be used by a thin client to render the results recursively. Again, the way I've internalized it, to be a REST api I'd expect a client to request results from a /listings endpoint of some kind. I think there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding and that precise language is better for everybody. What should we be calling these things? I'd love your thoughts on it.
