Allow returns/expects to be expressed in terms of a media type; what about multiple types? #22

Closed lanthaler closed 3 years ago

This is, e.g., necessary for things such as images. It is also necessary to define how multiple types in expects/returns should be interpreted. Do requests/responses need to be instances of all classes or just of at least one?

schema.org has for its hydra:expects counterpart corresponding properties for media types of the input and output schema:encodingType and schema:contentType. One could define multiple operations, one per type, if the content types would differ per @type. At lease for the input part I think there should be a corresponding concept in hydra. For the output it can make sense for documentation purposes (we had a similar discussion already I remember).
