REST Technology / Code

• Technology: After a technology comparison we have decided to focus on Spring MVC + Spring HATEOAS to build a REST API primary focus on JSON HAL.
  • The original discussion around the considered technologies is still available
• Source Code:
  • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/rest7master/dspace-spring-rest
  • At the current stage it is very experimental and can change dramatically as the work progress. Once stable enough it will be merged in the master.
  • Mockups of JSON HAL output are at https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/hal-jsonapi-comparison/tree/master/hal
• Tasks / Tickets:
  • We've begun creating tasks under the "new-REST" component in JIRA

REST Contract 

• Early discussion has begun at REST API Contract (endpoints, functionalities, behaviour, etc.)
• Contract Discussions in GitHub: https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/Rest7Contract
