Ask HN: Anyone actually using JSON API?

2 pointsdc21 comment

I'm working on a project to build a flexible database API wrapper and the requirements include REST support. I've known about JSON API for a while, however can't tell if it's a cute idea, or if it is actually being adopted broadly.

Before I model my wrapper around this, I'd like to get some real-world feedback from the HN community.

So, let's link to the thing:

How much benefit do you think you'll derive from all the extra crap that shows up? How much work is required to distill business entities back down from a conformant response?

It looks interesting, but I haven't heard much about it. Ember may use it somehow?
