Hypermedia is used to describe the relationships between resources. It is suggested that clients use the hypermedia to browse between resources 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://{server_name}/flavors/{flavor_id}/", "rel":"self" }, { "href":"http://{server_name}/flavors/{flavor_id}/", "rel":"bookmark" }, ] }
- href
- The absolute URL of the resource.
- rel
- Describes the relationship of this resources to the resource at the href URL.
- self - This is a link to the full version of this resource. Most listings will give a truncated version of the resource and include a self link.
- bookmark - This is a permalink to the current stable API version of this resource.
