i'm aware that we initially will focus on HAL, but in order to remain extensible/open enough i propose we compare some hypermedia driven formats in terms of overlap and differences.

Consider things like

embedding resources
link attributes
curies support
etc

Totally agree. There's the H-factor initiative from Mike Amundsen that can be used to classify media types, but not sure if it's really that useful for us.. http://amundsen.com/hypermedia/hfactor/

From skimming through json-api, "it looks like oData for Rails" (quote @andlju) http://jsonapi.org/format/#fetching-includes GET /posts/1?include=author,comments,comments.author GET /posts?include=author&fields[posts]=id,title&fields[people]=id,name There's definitely an assumption that there's an ORM-backed relational model behind that API. We might want to descope that one.
