I joined the JSON:API team last summer to help JSON:API move forward faster. Since then quite a few bugs have been fixed, new PHP API’s through hooks and events have been added and a lot of inconsistencies have been fixed.

Today we ask for your help. Are you using JSON:API to build decoupled applications or integrate Drupal in your organization’s IT landscape? Consider filling out our survey. The results of the survey will be used as the basis of the JSON:API roadmap for next year. Developing what the community and Drupal needs to stay relevant.

Have you been using Drupal’s JSON:API for building headless applications or system integration? Or have you explicitly chosen not to? Please consider helping us by filling out our ‘decoupled and integration survey’, it won’t take more than 5 minuten of your time.

You can find the blogpost with survey here: https://www.drupal.org/about/core/blog/decoupled-and-integration-survey-help-shape-drupals-jsonapis-future

The internet is broken. We are slowly loosing trust in what we see and read on the internet. How can we bring back accountability and transparency on the net. Trust must become part of the internet’s DNA.

The solution is timestamping content on blockchain technology. From news outlets, to legal documents, ecommerce and social media. Timestamping is an open source solution to restore trust in the internet.

Each piece of content has an unique fingerprint, the hash. This hash is unique to that state of the content. Change any detail in the content and the hash will change. By storing the hash on a blockchain transaction you can forever prove that state of the content at a certain time.

The session was recorded and published on YouTube.

I’ve built and released WordProof for Drupal. Timestamping content on the blockchain.

The techtalk was a great succes, Drupal Netherlands also recorded the sessions on YouTube. I’ll be posting some photo’s soon.

Zonder API’s was het een stuk moeilijker om verschillende stukjes software te laten samenwerken en zou onze code voortdurend stuk gaan. Dus bij de 28e Drupal Tech Talk heffen we het glas op de API’s en duiken we in de werelden van OAuth en JSON:API. Voor deze Drupal Tech Talk zijn we te gast bij SWIS in Leiden. Zoals altijd zijn we de gastheer zeer…

If you’ve ever argued about the way your JSON responses should be formatted, JSON:API can be your anti-bikeshedding tool. JSON:API is a great way to expose a consistent API in your application.

In this session, we will talk about how JSON:API got to where it is today and how it can help you make Drupal the core of all your online transactions. We will check out the specifications and look at the main benefits of JSON:API.

Expect to learn the structure and features of the JSON:API specifications and why it should be your smart default. You should be able to get started right away with some examples we will provide in this session.

Further reading

• JSON:API specification
• JSON:API implementations
• Drupal JSON:API module documentation
• JSON:API in core announcement
• Dries comparing REST, JSON:API and GraphQL

I wrote an article about JSON:API on  https://laravel-news.com/json-api-introduction.

JSON API was originally drafted in May 2013 by Yehuda Katz and reached stable in May 2015, and it is about making your API calls efficient. You can fetch data as you need, adding or removing attributes or relations as your requirements change. This minimizes the amount of data and round trips needed when making API calls.

Eén keer per jaar organiseert het Emmauscollege in Rotterdam het M-Excellent programma. Dit programma geeft leerlingen uit 5 VWO de kans om deel te nemen aan twee maatschappelijke projecten binnen de gemeente Rotterdam. Tijdens deze projecten helpen verschillende bedrijven met trainingen om de leerlingen te helpen. Dit keer heb ik hier een SCRUM training gegeven aan de leerlingen. Leuk en leerzaam.
