This repository contains example projects to interact with Spring HATEOAS.

• Learn how to interact with a Spring HATEOAS-powered app, from inside as well as the command line.

• See how to upgrade a REST resource without having to create new media types, version URIs, etc.

We have separate folders for each of these:

• Basics - Poke and prod at a hypermedia-powered service from inside the code as well as externally using standard tools

• Simplified - Use Spring HATEOAS in the simplest way possible.

• API Evolution - Upgrade an existing REST resource

• Hypermedia - Create hypermedia-driven REST resources, linking them together, and supporting older links.

• Affordances - Create richer hypermedia controls using more complex hypermedia formats

• Spring HATEOAS + Spring Data REST - How to stir in custom links and logic with a Spring Data REST-based app

The Spring HATEOAS community has its own contributions when it comes to examples of building hypermedia.

• Siren HATEOAS Examples - The maintainer of the Siren extension of Spring HATEOAS has an extra set of examples.
