Hypermedia Explained




Hypermedia is just another name for everything we see, hear and interact on the web. But since the early nineties, the general concept of hypermedia in popular use has been largely replaced by the term "interactive multimedia." First, only in the world of software engineering and architecture do people continue to talk about hypermedia. Nowadays, the term is most commonly used to design web application interfaces or APIs.

As the complexity of software applications and systems continues to grow, so does the need for different components within one application and completely separate applications to communicate simply and clearly with one another. This cross-language data exchange is one that has always been using the API, but the variety of APIs and languages ​​used to encode them can be as wide-ranging and as peculiar as individual software applications themselves. The API developed by Facebook and Twitter developed by Twitter may not communicate well with each other, and developers usually need to sort through any given API's unique documentation to figure out how to use it in their application. Many system engineers and software developers think their work would be much easier if they had a common API writing format, following a common, consistent structure. They look at the Web as a proven example of this.

The web is a hyperlink-engaging hypermedia system that, despite the endless variations of software languages ​​used to construct websites and multimedia forms, usually manages to remain significantly interconnected and communicate clearly across its many components. A single hyperlink clicked on a web browser can serve a YouTube video as easily as it can display a BuzzFeed text and gif list. This has led several thoughtful software architects to chase their eyebrows and wonder whether there is a better way to build an API.
