I needed a better Zoom background and I went a little overboard.

Thanks to @GitHubCopilot it was done in one evening.

@JasonJedlinski @Confluence It's really not obvious enough, I've taught this feature to so many people.

This post is a little late. Life uhh finds a way, to delay my shameless self promotion.

This article covers the many ways you can implement Hypermedia with JSON Hyper-Schema.

You can check it out over at @apisyouwonthate https://t.co/LdHbBBPEEE

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

In a couple of months I'll be speaking APIs yet again, but this time a little further away from home!

Come watch my talk, "Why I'm betting on REST" at @InnowaveSummit! https://t.co/O8uNVuE2bJ

@sharpfarts "Ok, so we're remaking a classic with an epic ending. A crazy, hectic building scene with an iconic swinging firetruck ladder. We gotta be different. How do we end it?" "I know. Smashmouth"

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

@DoerrfeldBill I particularly like how clean @akalsey's is.

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

@DoerrfeldBill Great article! It's always challenging to try to explain my job, and I'm going to borrow some of these.

It's fitting that my response ended up in the "Why do I care?" section. I feel like I've been fighting that question for years.

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

@DoerrfeldBill I'm almost always describing APIs in relation to my job, so I say "APIs are how websites talk to each other. Have you ever used the 'Log in with Facebook' feature on a website? Well once you log in, an API is how that website accesses your Facebook information."

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

@sharpfarts He'll be the first DLC, because we all know, Waluigi numbah one!

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

@mtiller @bengreen @restfest @jaffathecake I think the simple part is that if you ignore the new features, a good http2 library can look identical to an http1 library. Push defininitely adds complexity to the mix!

I hope to explore push in more detail with an upcoming project, thanks for the article!

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

Part 2 of Getting Started with JSON Hyper-Schema is complete!

Check it out over at @apisyouwonthate https://t.co/VLYO6nxays.

This article covers HTTP headers, HTTP methods, request bodies and response bodies. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!

[APIs You Won't Hate @apisyouwonthate]

JSON Schema's fanciest new vocabulary Hyper-Schema is exceedingly powerful, and @dashron explains more about how it can be used to add hypermedia controls (HATEOAS) to your API. Target hints, submission schemas, when to POST/PATCH/etc, etc. 🙌🏼

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

@mtiller Cool! I'll try to take a look at this soon.

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

@jer_francis Awesome, glad it worked. We've got some dev site updates coming out in the next couple of months that will hopefully make this issue clearer!

[Aaron Hedges @Dashron]

@jer_francis Cool. Lmk what you find out!
