    It feels like he’s trying to say something like Swagger should always be required. One of the things about SOAP for example was that it always had a self-generating WSDL that you could consume to get everything. There were quite a few REST endpoints that were missing this when first developed.

    But I do agree that “forms” and “html” are quite the opposite of an API.

      Well I’m not missing the point then, that’s good to know :)
