15:25 asdf` so i'm wondering about implementing software that consumes a rest api; generic clients are of course very easy, but what about specific clients? for example, i want a 'customers' list in my main menu, and when i examine one of them, that shows a 'products this customer bought' list; i need to know this menu structure beforehand so that i can script and style it, so discoverability kinda doesn't help here?
15:25 asdf` is that a trivial issue, a no-issue or an actual issue?
15:31 trygvis the client need to learn the relations it needs to accomplish it's task
15:34 asdf` sure, but i mean, what if one of the resources needs to be displayed very differently from all the others?
15:35 asdf` hmm, that's where this 'code-on-demand' thing comes in handy, isn't it
15:35 trygvis hm, how is that a problem for the REST interactions?
15:36 trygvis that depends, most machine-to-machine communication doesn't involve/care much about how stuff looks
15:38 asdf` well that's not a problem of rest interactions, it's a problem of non-generic clients
