Posting raw JSON to Web API
I see questions almost weekly on StackOverflow where someone is trying to POST JSON and receive it as a string. The problem is that Web API has two modes, “serialized object” and “HTTP message”. Receiving raw JSON as a string falls between the two.
Web Standards Search Engine
I always struggle to use the IETF and W3C web sites to find Web standards that I am looking for. Google and Bing work ok for finding stuff if you can hit the right keywords, however if the terms you are searching has other more popular usages, then you have to wade through irrelevant results.
It’s time for a change, and more of the same.
Starting next week, I will be joining the Runscope team. Runscope provides tools that help developers debug, test and monitor Web APIs. This is a company that lives and breathes HTTP. If you know me, I’m sure you understand why that appeals to me.
