A question at stackoverflow regarding media type explosion resulted in someone commenting about Hi-REST and Lo-REST that got me completely confused(. i.e you are talking about hi-rest and i am talking about lo-rest blah blah). Well, NO. I am talking about REST and I know nothing about your Hi- and Lo- stuff. I am not sure why people invent new terminology and abuse the original ideas. As far as I am concerned, REST is what Roy’s dissertation says, everything else is ‘not’ REST. But that doesn’t mean it is bad or good, it just means it is not REST. I hope people stop abusing terms to create confusion.
