The API of the API

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Shows the JSON API 1.0 spec as a concrete model for evolving REST responses and a small JavaScript library YAYSON that Confetti built to prove it works: store syncing, automatic relationship resolution, presenters to compose responses, and client-driven fetching via resource links and included blocks. Demonstrates pagination links and metadata, a client-friendly mime type, and a dogfooded use case on Nordic.js where the server varies payload (desktop vs mobile) without client changes.
