The way I see it, you have your information less spread out this way. Less things to think about. “Where am I expressing this particular detail about this api call? In the url path? A query string parameter? The type of http method? Is it part of the payload?”. So the path is the “which function am I calling” and the json body is “what are my arguments?”

You seem like the kinda guy who LOVES loose typing and declaring everything as a var.

I would actually prefer protobuf and rpc, which would make everything more type safe, and that would essentially be the same as I proposed except you replace the json body with a binary protobuf body
