Any book about REST APIs should have a section on content negotiation including popular formats like

Document formats JSON API HATEOAS

And things like Localisation/multi-lingual APIs Content types (and vendor specific content types and how to register one http://www.iana.org/form/media-types) Accept header content negotiation
