<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>With this concise book, you'll learn the art of building hypermedia APIs that don't simply run <i>on</i> the Web, but that actually exist <i>in</i> 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.</p><p>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.
