HTML Hypermedia APIs and Adaptive Web Design - reject.js
1 like27,343 views
The document discusses using HTML hypermedia APIs together with adaptive web design. This allows the same code to be used for both the web interface and API, with separate URLs and optimization for response size and number of roundtrips. Key techniques include using microformats as the semantic layer, aggressive enhancement, and optimizing for the API and multiple devices. The combination of HTML hypermedia APIs and adaptive web design allows the API and web to effectively be the same.
![HIGH LEVEL VIEW
Same code for web and API
(yes, share templates too)
Separate URLs
Optimize response size and #roundtrips
Microformats2 as semantic layer or RDFa [Lite]
Agressive enhancement
Other AWD techniques :)

HTML Hypermedia APIs and Adaptive Web Design - reject.js
- 1. HTML HYPERMEDIA APIS AND ADAPTIVE WEB DESIGN Gustaf Nilsson Kotte / @gustaf_nk
- 2. ABOUT ME
- 3. TWO AREAS OF INTEREST Hypermedia APIs - No application logic in API clients Adaptive Web Design - Multi-device web Working nicely together!
- 4. DEMO, KANBAN BOARD HTML Hypermedia API + Adaptive Web Design
- 5. PREFER FAT APIS OVER FAT CLIENTS
- 8. WHAT IS THE HYPERMEDIA CONSTRAINT? — Jon Moore You do stuff by reading pages and then either follow links or submit forms.
- 9. USE HTML FOR HYPERMEDIA APIS Lots of hypermedia controls Old, standardized, everybody knows HTML Good tooling support https://vimeo.com/20781278 http://codeartisan.blogspot.se/2012/07/using-html-as-media-type-for-your-api.html http://amundsen.com/hypermedia/html/
- 10. MORE... Great for learning about hypermedia!
- 11. INTERLUDE JSON is ok :) Also, hypermedia is a bit harder to consume in general
- 12. EXAMPLE: MICROFORMATS2, ENTITIES <li class="h-item"> <div class="p-name"><%= item.name %></div> <div class="p-status"><%= item.status %></div> <div class="p-description"><%= item.description %></div> <div class="p-forms"> ... </div> <div class="p-links"> ... </div> </li>
- 13. EXAMPLE: MICROFORMATS2, FORMS <div class="p-forms"> <form data-rel="move backlog" action="/items/backlog" method="POST"> <input name="id" type="hidden" value="4"> <input title="submit" type="submit" value="Move to backlog"> </form> <form data-rel="move verify next" action="/items/verify" method="POST"> <input name="id" type="hidden" value="4"> <input title="submit" type="submit" value="Move to verify"> </form> </div>
- 14. Minimal HTML IDEA: A COMMON GOAL HTML Hypermedia APIs ∩ Mobile first = (also, reduce number of roundtrips)
- 17. ADAPTIVE WEB DESIGN Responsive web design Feature detection Device APIs Performance Conditional loading Content strategy Touch Platform optimization Ergonomics ... http://bradfrostweb.com/blog/mobile/beyond-media-queries-anatomy-of-an-adaptive-web-design
- 19. THE API AND THE WEB CAN BE THE SAME THING! HTML Hypermedia APIs ❤ Mobile First Mobile First ❤ all web browsers and devices
