From REST to Hypermedia APIs with Spring by Vladimir TsukurJavaDayUA
Typical way to design and expose HTTP API today is a so called CRUD approach: come up with URL templates for resources, map create-read-update-delete operations to HTTP verbs and serialize domain model as JSON. This approach is nice and easy, but has its severe limitations.
In this talk we'll create an application enhancing its primitive CRUD API all the way to modern, business-centric hypermedia style API using a set of tools from Spring, namely Spring Boot, Spring Data REST, Spring HATEOAS and Spring REST Docs!
