From 8b8ccaf5d7256c089d7543bda1113c0912e56448 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Greg L. Turnquist" Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2021 11:15:51 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Backport dropping of links to old /understanding pages of spring.io. The spring.io/understanding pages no longer exist, so we need to drop all links to those pages.

There are a few competing de-facto standards of how to represent links in JSON. By default, Spring Data REST uses https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kelly-json-hal[HAL] to render responses. HAL defines the links to be contained in a property of the returned document. Resource discovery starts at the top level of the application. By issuing a request to the root URL under which the Spring Data REST application is deployed, the client can extract, from the returned JSON object, a set of links that represent the next level of resources that are available to the client.
