When it comes to designing API’s we often try to follow a Purist approach. We also find frustrating when external API’s do not follow that same ideal.

Check out this great article by Phil Sturgeon that outlines the differences between REST vs RPC API’s as well as the advantages & disadvantages of each.

This article is both level-headed and pragmatic. It focuses on how to get the job done rather than taking a zelous view of which approach is better. Well worth the read!
