Rest API Design Rulebook: Designing Consistent Restful Web Service Interfaces

Libro datato che però contiene alcune best practices per quanto concerne l'implementazione di Web Api Rest. Visto il costo ne valeva la pena.

Das Buch beschreibt auf einfache Weise alle Aspekte, die man beim Entwerfen von Rest-APIs beachten muss. Ein tolles Buch mit vielen Beispielen und Erklärungen...Muss jeder rest-api designer haben

I am a web developer and read this hols a few years back now. Since then everyone on my team has read it. It is the best boon on rest APIs I have read. It is short, fundamental and very easy to digest. Great book.

Agree with what others say about WRML. While WRML does seem to have some interesting uses as a standard, it clearly isn't a standard yet (google it and you will only get references back to the book and the author). For a book that is purporting to be a rulebook for design, promotion of a non-standard protocol is counterproductive. There are some good tidbits in terms of usage of headers for descriptive purposes and keeping urls and body mostly for content. However I found myself skipping over parts related to WRML more than I was actually reading the book.

Not a reallistic approach to REST API design is you want to be most productive. I agree that most of what is said here is the "correct" way to do APIs, but this doesn't necessarily mean it's the most convenient/pratical way. But the core concepts are really cool though.
