HATEOAS - Rest Shell for interacting with a HATEOAS service

https://github.com/spring-projects/rest-shell

It is based on spring-shell and integrated with Spring HATEOAS in such a way that REST resources that output JSON compliant with Spring HATEOAS can be discovered by the shell and interactions with the REST resources become much easier than by manipulating the URLs in bash using a tool like curl.

HATEOAS - Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State

http://martinfowler.com/articles/richardsonMaturityModel.html

• L0:  The Swamp of POX
• L1:  Resources
• L2:  HTTP Verbs
• L3:  Hypermedia Controls  (HATEOAS)

http://spring.io/understanding/HATEOAS
A hypermedia-driven site provides information to navigate the site's REST interfaces dynamically by including hypermedia links with the responses. This capability differs from that of SOA-based systems and WSDL-driven interfaces.

HAL seems to be the leading hypermedia format (for supporting HATEOAS).
I still don't know how to pronounce that damn acronym.


https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-hateoas/
A library of APIs that you can use to easily create links pointing to Spring MVC controllers, build up resource representations, and control how they’re rendered into supported hypermedia formats such as HAL.

HAL - Hypertext Application Language

http://stateless.co/hal_specification.html

HAL - conventions around representing RESOURCES and LINKS.  For discoverability / navigability

•     links - like Self or Next or Search
•     properties
•     embedded
•     curie (compact uri) for easier readability
