Kinda missed that, and I've seen the term but I'm not sure what hypermedia is in a technical sense -- do you have a link?Wyatt Barnett– Wyatt Barnett2012-03-01 19:00:59 +00:00Commented Mar 1, 2012 at 19:00

2Basically, hypermedia in the context of REST mean "lazy load". For example, if your request to a REST service returns an object that has a reference to another object, that references is represented as a link in the XML document as oppose to including the referenced object in it's entirety. If you want info about the referenced object, simply follow the link. dret.net/lectures/ppos-spring11/reading/…Ray Saltrelli– Ray Saltrelli2012-03-01 19:09:45 +00:00Commented Mar 1, 2012 at 19:09

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
