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 paragraph then wrote a few about how its bad. More and more par

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 those things. Notbing against jq, just a different discussio

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 sure the "nobody is really using it" argument hol

> 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 most dangerous aspect of using PHP. It blocks your learning

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 building industry? Quelle f'ing surprise.

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 designed to do that. None of those are meant to be a public

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 lot. By adding the customization elements, people can wri

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 either of them in suicide mode to RUN ALL THE CONNECTIONS

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

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 in the article called anyone an idiot.
