I love it. If everyone did that, we could even write a sensible fontend for people, so they can look for a job instead of fighting with some sap module that's not even properly translated from german.

Mmm. It's not going to happen though. Even this company have failed at standardising their own API.

Key for twitter: "twitter": Key for discord: "discordUsername":

Why are they inconsistent?! Who wrote this? Who signed off on it?!

Oh, and for GitHub you provide a url but for twitter and discord it's just the username?! But the twitter handle has to be prefixed with @. Why?!

Just send it with both "discord" and "discordUsername" for compatibility.

Years later, we're still trying to figure out which is deprecated and which is the "correct" field

Ambiguous fields, sounds like me fr

You could have different versions of the API that have a different requirements.

SAP developement has become international, even the german version is badly translated. Paired with industry best practices (this is what Volkswagen does, with a little customization you can adopt it for your beauty salon) it will make businesses thrive!

SAP, the worst thing to come out of Germany since WW2

I wish we just had a standardized format for resumes. Then as you say various front ends could just formatted however was most convenient for the reviewer.

Besides it's almost all handle by AI these days anyway so there isn't a lot of point making it look flashy.

Such things exist. They're just not widely adopted. https://github.com/jsonresume
