HAL - Hypertext Application Language

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:41:48 +0400

HAL - Hypertext Application Language:

HAL provides a set of conventions for expressing hyperlinks to, and embeddedness of, related resources - the rest of a HAL document is just plain old JSON or XML.

Instead of using linkless JSON/XML, or spending time developing a custom media type, you can just use HAL and focus on defining and documenting the link relations that direct your clients through your API.

HAL is a bit like HTML for machines, in that it is generic and designed to drive many different types of application. The difference is that HTML has features for presenting a graphical hypermedia interface to a ‘human actor’, whereas HAL is intended for presenting a machine hypertext interface to ‘automated actors’.

For a pracitcal introduction to hal+json you can read this article: JSON Linking with HAL
