Building Web APIs seems still more an art than a science. How can we build APIs such that generic clients can easily use them? And how do we build those clients? Current APIs heavily rely on out-of-band information such as human-readable documentation and API-specific SDKs. However, this only allows for very simple and brittle clients that are hardcoded against specific APIs. omg, in contrast, is a set of technologies that allow to design APIs in a different manner, in a way that enables smarter clients.Publications/PresentationsM.
