ALPS ASD (app-state-diagram) 0.3.6 has been released. You can import parts of other application designs online to structure your REST application design. (internet taxonomy !) #HypemediaAPI #ALPS github.com/koriym/app-state-…

using ALPS as a simple ontology/vocabulary document. excellent. @mamund
BEAR.ApiDoc generates API documents from phpdoc/method signatures/JSON schema/ALPS profile combo. Not only saves you the trouble of writing IDL, but also allows you to generate accurate documentation. #automagic github.com/bearsunday/BEAR.A…

Review of ALPS buff.ly/3t2TTNs by Kristopher Sandoval (buff.ly/2N12noV) @nordicapis "Today, we’re going to look at ALPS and outline its core features. We’ll also look at the new open-source ALPS Unified Utility..." @alps_io #hypermedia #API360 #APIDesign
the latter part of the week, I came across this #ASC2020 talk by @mamund on multi-paradigm API specification youtube.com/watch?v=XopFgJzV…, which is more toward the design-first end of the API implementation spectrum

“Program to an interface, not an implementation.” -- from "Design Patterns by Gamma", et al, 1992 API consumer apps should program to an @ALPS_io semantic profile, not an OpenAPI @OpenApiSpec document.

"What We Need To Be Machine Readable At API Run Time" -- @kinLane buff.ly/2t5Dai7 "How do we distill down the essential ingredients of API consumption into a single, machine readable unit that can be automated into what Mike Amundsen calls, 'find and bind'?"

Replying to @mamund @ramsey
I think there is something called ALPS.

The server is not finished. I need to work on ext rel docs and ALPS some more.
