JSON Standards for the Web
summary
Covers concrete standards not rhetoric: overview of jsonschema, jsonhome and jsonapi with live examples. Shows JSL converting models to schemas, Warlock and JSON Patch for change logs and validation, and Alpaca JS auto-generating forms from a schema (demo glitches but functional). Argues against Postel’s maxim and for “fail fast,” and points to schemes.net and a resume.json example. Practical tooling, interoperability tradeoffs, and whether generated clients and forms actually work are the deciding details.
