If you read the article you'd know that this is about using OpenAPI Overlays and other use cases where JSONPath is literally a requirement. I think you just read the first paragrap…

It would depend far more on the implementation than the concept/spec of JSONPath itself. What implementation are you using?

That wouldn't help anyone working with OpenAPI Overlays or Spectral which is what this article is about.

jq is wonderful but not relevant to the discussion. This is about using JSONPath for OpenAPI Overlays and automated API Style Guides like Spectral. You cannot use jq for either of …

The standard was developed because its being used by so many people in so many ways with so many different implementations that a standard was required to align them all, so im not…

Hey! I cover that a bit ni a followup blog post :) https://blog.runscope.com/posts/you-might-not-need-graphql tl;dr: maybe you want OData, JSON-API, or one of the many other standa…

> But since they are already brainwashed from PHP use, it prevents them from seeing the value of doing thing the proper way, and might see the process as contrived. This is the mos…

Those people need to think a bit harder before smashing out some automagical API that things will rely on for basically forever.

A developer who has been invited into the USA twice because of his skills at building complex APIs for complex companies suggests that automated solutions are a cancer on the API b…

I'm far more than the typical user. Oh and I know Go, so I must be super intelligent, because only super intelligent people use Go.

It truly blows my mind that any further explanation would be required. If you want a data store that exposes your database over HTTP then use on of the billion data stores that is …

Here's a whole update on the general state of markdown https://philsturgeon.uk/markdown/2014/11/30/state-of-markdow...

rST > HTML is less likely, but CommonMark > PDF could definitely be a thing.

It depends which bit you're talking about. A lot of implementations in various languages go with static regex approaches, which is a bit shit. This uses an AST which helps out a lo…

How about DBAD? http://www.dbad-license.org/

Hold on, why was my response badly researched? The point was that NodeJS and PHP were pretty close, and I posted (before the update) that I'm sure Node could go quicker. You run ei…

Two core devs with a few contributors. A lot of the components are in production already, it was built by the original developers to be used in production. It's on 0.3.0 for many p…

I think this was initially caused by RDS playing up, but varnish is in place now.

Let's say - for the sake of argument - that I walk outside, buy a "C for Dummies" book and read that thing cover to cover. In a month I might be a reasonable C developer and after …

I wouldn't say I have no idea, I've looked into it. I know exactly how difficult it is and respect anybody who manages (or even tries to) make PHP better. I certainly at no point i…
