Spring Boot HATEOAS in REST API Example

Date: 2019-06-26

This tutorial demonstrates implementing HATEOAS (Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State) in a Spring Boot REST API. It guides you through creating a Maven project in Eclipse, adding necessary dependencies (Spring HATEOAS, Faker), and building the application components: a data model (Employee), DAO, service, and controller. The example uses mock data and shows how to generate HATEOAS links in the response, allowing clients to discover available API actions. The tutorial concludes with testing the API using Postman.
