Support for hypermedia/HATEOAS

[ismarslomic]

This is a question for discussion and not an issue.

How can we provide developers better ability to add hypermedia links/controls and thus also achieve greater level of RESTfulness in the Richardson Maturity Model?

@saintedlama, any thoughts on this? Lib/framework support for HATEOAS is really lacking in most REST libs today. So the need is great

Not yet. Need some time :sad:
