Hypermedia benefits in plain language
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.
