JSON:API – created APIs beyond entities
mglaman
The JSON:API module provides an HTTP API for entities within Drupal. The HTTP API that adheres to the JSON:API specification. Now that JSON:API is stable in Drupal core, what is next for JSON:API?
We will begin with a history of the JSON:API module. Why does it only allow entity based endpoints? Why isn't there a way to create custom endpoints? We will answer these questions and the plans for moving forward.
This session will cover the work done on the JSON: API module to improve its foundations. These changes allow for new, custom endpoints. We will explore what impact that brings for the decoupled Drupal ecosystem. Finally, we will go over some examples of how you can build JSON:API endpoints to customize Drupal's HTTP API to your own needs.

- Summarize the history of the JSON:API module, and why we're just now seeing a PHP level API develop.
