With this concise book, you´ll learn the art of building hypermedia APIs that don´t simply run on the Web, but that actually exist in the Web. You´ll start with the general principles and technologies behind this architectural approach, and then dive hands-on into three fully-functional API examples. Too many APIs rely on concepts rooted in desktop and local area network patterns that don´t scale well-costly solutions that are difficult to maintain over time. This book shows system architects and web developers how to design and implement human- and machine-readable web services that remain stable and flexible as they scale. Learn the H-Factors for representing application metadata across all media types and formats Understand the four basic design elements for authoring hypermedia types Convert a simple read-only XML-based media type into a successful API design Examine the challenges and advantages of designing a hypermedia type with JSON Use HTML5´s rich set of hypermedia controls in the API design process Learn the details of documenting, publishing, and registering media type designs and link-relation types
