Hypermedia benefits in plain language
Raw
plain_language.txt
Hypermedia designs scale better, are more easily changed and promote decoupling
and encapsulation, with all the benefits those things bring. On the downside,
it is not necessarily the most latency-tolerant design, and caches can get stale
if you're not careful. It may not be as efficient on an individual request level
as other designs.

@telemachus yeah, I agree it's awkward. I think I like your wording. More revisions.
