Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Expose the new /page/mobile-html endpoint via RESTBase. This is the endpoint we expect the apps to use instead of mobile-sections in the future.

Since we already have /page/html/, adding /page/content-html/ is at the very least confusing: HTML constitutes content by definition. I would guess that the most appropriate name for this would be /page/reading-optimised-html/ but that's an awkward end point path. /page/reading-html/ and /page/optimised-html/ could be alternatives, but I'm not very happy with them as they are tautologies to a certain degree (HTML is here for reading it etc).

Is this html optimized for mobile reading use-cases? If so, why not /page/mobile-html? Or even /page/html/Bla?mobule=true?

Yeah, reading+mobile optimized, so mobile-html or ?mobile=true could work.

Hmm, I thought we wanted to avoid the name mobile. How about something with read in the name?

I'd avoid read-html as it is redundant in the same way that content-html is. Wrt mobile, if the intention for it is to be used in mobile web and native apps, then +1. AFAIK, the long-term plan is to slim down the Parsoid HTML further to use it for desktop reading use-cases. If that is true, then mobile can go. If there are alternative plans (as in, having PCS deliver the HTML used for desktop too), then we probably want to get away from mobile here.

The Parsoid output as it is right now is for editing. But ok, I guess mobile could work, too.
How about /page/mobile/html/{title}?
/page/html/{title}?mobile=true is another option but might be confused with plain Parsoid.
/page/mobile-html/{title} would be my third option.

If everybody is OK with it, I think we should go with /page/mobile-html/{title} as it keeps the consistency with the current Page API hierarchy.

I'd encourage anything that makes it clear this is a mobile-optimised payload (given we strip quite a lot of the reading content).

Ok, going to rename things from content-html to mobile-html.

Deployed today in MCS. Moved to the signoff column and then back again because there's still a RB PR that needs merging and deploying.
