Hello world

Hi all,

I'm Tom, and I just joined the Hydra W3C community group on Markus Lanthaler's advice.

I've been introduced to the world of Hydra, JSON-LD and Schema.org by a French fellow (just like me) named Kévin Dunglas, who recently did an amazing job at implementing those three standards in a full-fledged PHP framework named API Platform (actually built on top of Symfony, for those of you who are familiar with it). He then demonstrated his work at a Symfony conference in Paris I was attending, and I realized these were the future of web APIs. As a PHP *and* JavaScript developer, I decided to contribute some time myself to this topic and started working on a Hydra/JSON-LD library for the LoopBack framework (designed to build HTTP APIs). It is currently a work in progress, as I am in touch with Markus and the LoopBack people to make it go forward as much as I can. Long story short, I joined this group to be able to get information which can help me with this project, and let you know about my progress if you guys care.

On a more general note, you can learn more about me on my blog (he link is at the bottom of this mail).

I would like to add, if it wasn't already clear, that I as a regular API builder and consumer, have the greatest respect for what you guys are doing and cannot wait until it finally lands everywhere!

Best regards,

Tom Panier, web developer
