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.
[edit] 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"
}
]
}
- href
- 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.
- 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.
