		tomjen3 on March 28, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A standard for building APIs in JSON You are mostly there. Granted even your json is nicer than soap, but it is very, very far from json. About the only thing useful in the spec is a separate errors list so that I can easily check if it worked as it should. Also there is apparently no way to authenticate so you either have to allow everybody to create/alter whatever on your server or nobody. Yikes.

jsonapi bears absolutely no resemblance to SOAP. I do not understand this comment at all.

Please keep HN comments substantive.

Why would authentication need to be specified here to limit what a user can do in a conforming server?
