JSON:API Hypermedia

The JSON:API Hypermedia module is complementary component of the JSON:API module.

It adds support for rich, dynamic linking between your application's resources. It does not add any links of its own. Instead, it provides a plugin system for other modules to leverage.

This module enables other modules to provide useful links that drive a client's interaction with your JSON:API application. For a more in-depth dive understanding of why customizable links are so important and how they can be so valuable, check out this video: The REST and then some or read this blog post.

Here are some of things that are achievable once JSON:API Hypermedia is installed:

• Providing menu content and aliased URLs
• Providing custom operations like "add to cart", "like", "unlike", etc.
• Providing custom labels for "call to action" buttons.
• Providing "breadcrumbs".
• What operations can I perform on a resource (like add, update or remove)?
• Which of those operations is the client permitted to access?
• Providing metadata about linked resources (like the list of available languages or the price of a product variation).
