Hey,
I was trying to think of some simple advice for people designing REST
APIs - things like "if you're documenting the URI scheme, it's not
HATEOAS"
Would it be a worthwhile exercise for API designers to add a text/html
representation of their resources? with forms for action buttons etc.
That way you could be confident your really API is hypertext driven. It
would also be a nice way for API users to browse the API
Just a thought ...
Cheers,
Mark.
