Return to REST
Ben Ramsey
We don't talk about REST much these days. Why is that? Was REST too hard? Did we get tired of it? Did GraphQL win? Let's revisit REST to learn how its concepts can be put into practice to build great APIs. Along the way, we'll talk about some of the criticisms of REST and why GraphQL is an attractive alternative. We'll also discuss when it's okay to bend or break the rules, and we'll cover hypermedia, content negotiation, and API versioning pitfalls.
