@ww@xyzzy.link Actually it's a lot more than just API/RPC! See the paper (?) defining it: https://ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm And that's my contention. Using HTTP as an RPC layer is perfectly fine. But people throw around terms they don't understand and expect other developers to conform to "standards" that don't exist. Here's another fun one: HATEOAS.
