The popularity of REST in recent years has led to tremendous growth
in almost-RESTful APIs that don't include many of the
architecture's benefits. With this practical guide, you'll learn
what it takes to design usable REST APIs that evolve over time. By
focusing on solutions that cross a variety of domains, this book
shows you how to create powerful and secure applications, using the
tools designed for the world's most successful distributed
computing system: the World Wide Web. You'll explore the concepts
behind REST, learn different strategies for creating
hypermedia-based APIs, and then put everything together with a
step-by-step guide to designing a RESTful Web API.Examine API
design strategies, including the collection pattern and pure
hypermedia Understand how hypermedia ties representations together
into a coherent API Discover how XMDP and ALPS profile formats can
help you meet the Web API "semantic challenge" Learn close to
two-dozen standardized hypermedia data formats Apply best practices
for using HTTP in API implementations Create Web APIs with the
JSON-LD standard and other the Linked Data approaches Understand
