</> htmx ~ When Should You Use Hypermedia?
This essay by Carson Gross explores when to use hypermedia in web development, highlighting its advantages and trade-offs. Carson discusses scenarios where hypermedia is a good fit, such as text and image-heavy UIs, CRUD applications, and nested UIs with well-defined areas. He also addresses when hypermedia may not be ideal, including situations with frequent UI state updates, offline requirements, or dynamic interdependencies. Using a 'Transitional' approach (as suggested by Rich Harris), Carson advocates for combining hypermedia with other strategies to optimize web application development, emphasizing its practical benefits and alignment with the web's architecture.
