Have you been in long meetings trying to decide how your API should look like: what goes in the response, what format the errors will have, pagination, filtering options? Have you worked with (or built) APIs that return inconsistent status codes? What about hypermedia? While new solutions have emerged for specific use cases, what if there was a specification that can help you build APIs that are both easier to maintain and to consume? In this talk we will explore what makes json:api a good choice even in 2019 and the tools we have available for it.
