A composable RESTful JSON API to DBIx::Class schemas using roles and Web::Machine. PLEASE NOTE This module is no longer under active development. If you're interested in helping to develop or maintain it please fork it.
Adding support for JSON API would make WebAPI::DBIC directly usable as a backend for web applications implemented in EmberJS. JSON API uses the application/vnd.api+json media type.
JSON API was originally an attempt to standardize the Ember data backend API. It has since diverged a little but there's effort underway to converge.
Implementing JSON API will be an interesting example of extending WebAPI::DBIC to support other media types and so should lead to some useful refactoring.
I don't see any reason to deprecate support for HAL. In fact I can imagine using both media types to talk to a single model at the same time: JSON API for an Ember UI for humans and HAL for a pure-data service.

JSON API has some benefits over HAL.
