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/master/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 "REST API v7" component in JIRA
    • These tasks are also available via a Kanban board (requires being logged in to JIRA): https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=33&projectKey=DS&quickFilter=70
