Hypermedia: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

In this session we’re going to take a hard look at hypermedia, and what it really means to utilize HATEOAS (hypermedia as the engine of application state). We’re also going to jump into different hypertext specifications, tackle the hypermedia vs documentation debate, and take a good hard look at how hypermedia can help extend the life of your API. But we’re also going to take a hard look at the cons of implementing hypermedia, and why not everyone is a fan. In short, we want to look at the good, the bad, and the downright ugly to make sure that we utilize hypermedia in our RESTful APIs in the most efficient manner possible.
