Re: [api-craft] Re: My hypermedia talk at Oredev

Jumping in here...

the biggest challenge (some would say drawback) to using my Collection+JSON
media type is that it was specifically designed to "break the back" of
object-style serializers in code libraries<g>.

I find that facing the notion of switching communications between machines
from object-oriented to state-oriented can be enlightening, even if it
turns out that's not what you decide to do for your project.

I think HAL does a very good job of providing hypermedia affordances while
still supporting object-style message passing.  Be sure to check that one
out, too. It's also possible Siren would be a good fit, but I've not built
much w/ that one yet.

Cheers.
