Hateoas
A PHP library for adding HATEOAS hypermedia links and embedded resources to REST API representations.
What is Hateoas?
Hateoas is a PHP library that helps developers build HATEOAS-compliant REST APIs by automatically adding hypermedia links and embedded resources to JSON and XML representations. It integrates with JMS Serializer and supports standards like HAL and Atom Links, making APIs more discoverable and self-describing. The library solves the problem of manually managing link generation and resource embedding in API responses.
PHP developers building RESTful web services that need to implement hypermedia controls for API discoverability, especially those using JMS Serializer and frameworks like Symfony or Silex.
Developers choose Hateoas because it provides a standardized, expressive way to add HATEOAS features without reinventing the wheel, with built-in support for pagination, URL generation, and multiple serialization formats. Its tight integration with JMS Serializer and extensible architecture make it a robust choice for hypermedia-driven APIs.
