URL scheme should be future proof

Open sladen opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Current URL scheme is:

/browse/xxyyzz

Better scheme would be:

/chips/ ("directory listing" of chips)
/chips/i12345/ (meta data/notes/photo/Wikipedia link etc on that particular chip)
/chips/i12345/instructions/xx/yy/zz (progressively deeper instruction exploration)

This keeps a tidy REST URL scheme, that allows additional going up and down the directory structure clearly. An initial redirect could still be one to /chips/i1234/. Replacing instructions/ with x86-64/ would be technically less RESTy, but might be more intuitive/have better Google-fu:

/chips/i12345/x86-64/xx/yy/zz

But might help with keeping open the option for exploring different instruction sets on the same chip.
