Feed the links, tuples' a bag – Intro to Linked Data APIs
summary
Argues that adopting json-ld and Hydra lets APIs publish links, typed vocabularies (for example schema.org) and operations so generic clients can discover resources, render an event as a calendar control, and invoke actions without custom SDKs. Demonstrates a playground that extracts semantic fields from responses (demo is shown but the live demo breaks), claims this approach eliminates dozens of bespoke client libraries (citing about 20 per company) and reuses existing web tooling.
