Agreed. If I standardize pagination, I'll be using a "since" token, not pages (this is actually something Ember Data already supports, but weakly).

The main reason was to unify patches to attributes with patches to relationships, which do require richer semantics. It also makes it really easy to add a compound PATCH (updates to posts/1/title, posts/1/rels/author, posts/2/body, etc. all

JSON HAL is an document format only; it does not formalize a protocol. JSON API is a solution for any "smart" client that is capable of caching documents and intelligently limiting subsequent requests. In general, I believe it will be broad

There are several reasons I chose not to use HAL: * HAL embeds child documents recursively, while JSON API flattens the entire graph of objects at the top level. This means that if the same "people" are referenced from different kinds of ob

Also a fair point. The original reason for using Arrays (and something that still carries some weight with me), is that people expected that Arrays be presented in a particular order returned by the server. Indeed, the semantics of a to-man

Actually, the current Ember Data protocol uses ?id[]=12&id[]=9&id[]=4. There's no good reason for the extra verbosity; it's pretty easy to split over commas and the current format is tricky to parse for platforms that don't already

The `PATCH` mechanism is an HTTP verb (RFC 5789: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789 ) using a standard patching mechanism (RFC 6902: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902 ). Both are RFCs that seemed like good foundations to build on.

OP here. Indeed. And importantly, this API makes it possible to restrict the query to a list of documents that the client doesn't already have from another source. In practice, once you start using compound documents with an identity map, t

OOP here. There are a lot of these kinds of decisions that need to be made for an API like this. In general, I went with what we're already doing if there was a toss-up. A big strength of JSON API, imho, is that it's an extraction from a re

Totally agree. The OP posted at 4:05 a.m., when I was very much asleep. I've been a little bit less responsive this week in general as I've been participating in TAG[1] this week. I'm very sorry that our project came across as uncaring. [1]

I totally agree that our getting started story could be much better. In fact, it's our primary focus as we move towards 1.0. Specifically: * We're actively working on a Getting Started Guide with live examples that walks the user through bu

Not at all. That's precisely what the petition advocates for. If you are required to use the term "license" when your software contains DRM, then you aren't allowed to use the term "buy" when your software contains DRM. Therefore, this peti

In this case, the "state" that we're talking about is "what state are you in". In other words, the router manages high-level state ("I am looking at a post now"), and provides long-lived controllers with data reflecting that state. So even

Right now it's mostly a "roll your own" affair. Rails provides a decent system (via the asset pipeline) for people fully inside the Rails ecosystem, but something better really needs to exist. I'd bet that it will within a year (or maybe ev

No. Please read this entire document on directives, which are a front-and-center feature of Angular: http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive . The transclusion snippet is pretty representative of this entire document.

If by interesting you mean totally misleading, then sure! The Ember.js version included is unminified, and the number of files reflect several small files rather than one big file. The goal of TodoMVC is to compare code style. But sure, we'

For what it's worth, it's not clear how Object.observe will substantially improve the performance of large collections. For example, if you insert an item at position 0 of a 10,000 item array, Object.observe will publish a change for every
