My API started returning such JSONs:
{
"links": [
{
"rel": "self",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/books/4/instances"
}
],
"content": [
{
"donatorName": "Lee Anderson",
"content": [],
"links": [
{
"rel": "self",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/4"
},
{
"rel": "bookInstance",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/4"
},
{
"rel": "reservations",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/4/reservations"
},
{
"rel": "library",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/4/library"
},
{
"rel": "book",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/4/book"
}
]
},
{
"donatorName": "Leroy Guerrero",
"content": [],
"links": [
{
"rel": "self",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/5"
},
{
"rel": "bookInstance",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/5"
},
{
"rel": "reservations",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/5/reservations"
},
{
"rel": "library",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/5/library"
},
{
"rel": "book",
"href": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/book-instances/5/book"
}
]
}
]
}
This is not hal+json, I couldn't find the convention that uses "content" and "links"(without underscore) fields. What am I doing wrong? I want "_links" and "embedded".

My repositories are simple PagingAndSortingRepository classes.
package demo;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.data.repository.PagingAndSortingRepository;
import org.springframework.data.repository.query.Param;
import org.springframework.data.rest.core.annotation.RepositoryRestResource;
//import org.springframework.hateoas.PagedResources;
@RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "libraries", path = "libraries")
public interface LibraryRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Library, Long> {
}
What am I missing out? Or including more than I need?
