Why I Tend Not To Use Content Negotiation

In this essay, Carson Gross explores his preference for separating JSON and hypermedia APIs instead of using content negotiation, a feature in HTTP that allows clients to request different formats (e.g., HTML, JSON). He discusses the limitations of content negotiation in APIs, especially when mixing stable, versioned JSON data APIs with dynamic, UI-driven hypermedia APIs. Carson argues that by splitting these concerns into distinct APIs, developers can better maintain stability for data APIs while allowing flexibility for hypermedia APIs to evolve with user interface needs. He also highlights the challenges content negotiation introduces to API design and scalability.

Are Frameworks Keeping Up With Modern API Requirements? | Phil Sturgeon

Over the years I've used about 20 different web application frameworks (tool-kits for making server-side applications), contributed to a few, and maintained a couple of popular ones. I've got a bit of a theory that many developers are introduced to new methodologies as and when their framework deliver it to them. Whilst this might sound like cargo-cult culture, I get it, developers are busy people. User manuals showing how to do DDD, TDD, Event Sourcing, or whatever, is much easier to understa

GraphQL vs REST: Caching | Phil Sturgeon

Recently I wrote GraphQL vs REST: Overview, giving a hype-free outline of the differences between REST and GraphQL. One section that would not have fit into that already lengthy article was caching, so I thought I'd fire that out next. Comparing how caching is used for the two approaches is tricky, because despite common opinion, REST has nothing to do with HTTP. REST is usually implemented in HTTP, therefore when most folks talk about "caching in REST", they are really talking about caching w
