Enhance your purchase

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

Overall it's a great book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

It's a great intro to hypermedia and if you work with web services of any kind, any technology it's the kind of book that helps expanding your horizons and suggesting different approaches to common problems. I don't think the title was a great choice. "Why web services often fail and what we can do about it" could have worked better :) Or maybe "The Woodstock of web services" :) Anyways, the only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that I'm not entirely convinced of the practicality of some of those concepts. But that's absolutely nothing against the author nor the book, it's just that hypermedia services are so different than traditional web services that you have to question a few things before start making design changes here and there. Definitely a book worth reading.

Pragmatic Tutorial on Designing and Building Hypermedia APIs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 12, 2012

Verified Purchase

If you don't know what a hypermedia API is, think that REST is all about pretty URIs, or think RPC is all the rage, you owe it to yourself to amend your thinking by picking up this book. I don't think this will convince you to go all out for hypermedia, but you'll get a solid, clear foundation for how hypermedia can help you better design and implement web APIs. This book covers the case for both human and machine clients. In particular, I found the use of HTML5 a real treat, as I'd never considered it for machine-to-machine communications. I highly recommend it.

Nice intro to hypermedia apis

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a good intro to building hypermedia apis. It definitely gives you the information that you need to start reviewing if hypermedia apis are right for you. Don't let the HTML5 and Node thing throw you, the information really does apply to whatever language you are working with.

Great example, but lacking high-level concepts/motivation.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

Had a few really good examples, but for the most part examples repeated themselves. I thought overall the book was lacking in high-level content for those unfamiliar with hypermedia design.
