Hypermedia is used to describe the relationships between resources. It is suggested that clients use the hypermedia to browse between resource and not build URLs with templates.
JSON
In the JSON representation the hypermedia is included in the links field of the JSON object.
{
"links":[
{
"href":"http://{api_server}/flavors/{flavor_id}/",
"rel":"self"
},
{
"href":"http://{api_server}/flavors/{flavor_id}/",
"rel":"bookmark"
}
]
}

- The absolute URL of the resource.
- rel
- Describes the relationship of this resources to the resource at the href URL. See [1] for list of standard relationship types.
