Hypermedia
An index and topic collection covering hypermedia-driven APIs, HATEOAS, and the formats, link relations, and specifications that make APIs discoverable and self-describing. Hypermedia APIs use links, link relations, and embedded controls inside their responses so that clients can navigate an API graph at runtime rather than relying on hard-coded URI structures. This collection covers hypermedia formats including HAL, JSON:API, Siren, Collection+JSON, JSON-LD, Hydra, ALPS, UBER, Mason, and Verbose; the standards bodies that define web linking (IETF, W3C) including RFC 5988/8288 Web Linking and RFC 9264 api-catalog; provider APIs that demonstrably ship HATEOAS responses such as OpenProject, Reverb, MBTA, Patreon, Teamtailor, and Drupal JSON:API; and the spec libraries and frameworks (Spring HATEOAS, Spring Data REST, Apicurio) that implement hypermedia patterns.
