Practical Perl Tools: With Just a Little Bit of a Swagger

I’ve already come out as an API-phile in this column, so I suspect no one will be shocked that we’re going to dive into yet another API-related topic this column. Just like the TV show where you recognize everyone in the bar (and they all know your name), we’ll be back among old friends like REST and JSON. The one thing I perhaps should provide a trigger warning for is we’re going to be mentioning Java in the column. If that’s not your cup of you know what, then you may want to skip ahead in the magazine. If it is any comfort, we won’t see any actual Java code in the column, just a bit of the tooling.
