REST is more than just JSON or XML over HTTP. In this presentation we take a closer look how to use links (hypermedia) when designing your RESTful API. Not only does this make your service discoverable and self-descriptive, but it also makes life easier for client developers as the business logic is simply checking the presence or absence of links (HATEOAS).
The presentation is based on a sample application including real business logic and not just basic collection CRUD! We also explore what mediatypes exists for hypermedia and when to use them.
