Best practices for REST API design (2020)
This article doesn&#x27;t mention linking at all, which is at the heart of REST. Without links, <i>it isn&#x27;t REST</i>, and most of the suggestions don&#x27;t have anything to do with REST <i>per se</i>. Most of it is just standard JSON-over-HTTP stuff that&#x27;s implemented in a variety of frameworks and libraries.<p>EDIT: To be clear, I don&#x27;t particularly care if an API is &quot;RESTful&quot; or not, as long as it&#x27;s well-designed and documented, but I think there are interesting&#x2F;useful ideas in REST that are lost when it&#x27;s conflated with JSON-over-HTTP.
