Fun fact, I actually did implement JSON-HAL and peers wondered why I was putting this “silly _links dictionary member” in there.
I’ll say I’ve seen other REST APIs using json and at least honor the concept of hypermedia, but in a useless way. They’ll have links specified, but even within their API no consistency on what dictionary keys would refer to related resources versus data.
