Re: Hydra Status

Yes, but for the average Joe, even JSON-LD is already pushing the 
envelope. Turtle may be easy to read but it lacks tooling support. And 
most people stay away from XML as much as possible. Maybe unless they 
are stuck is some enterprisey business environment and/or SOAP.

JSON has great support not only in JS land. It is commonly used on all 
platforms and all kinds of projects. Not to mention MongoDB, which 
basically stores JSON objects.

And Hydra is not about RDF. Most people will not care about that 
(initially?). They will want to describe their REST APIs with Hypermedia 
controls. And the will want to keep serving JSON(-LD).

Best,
Tom
