This is a backward-incompatible change that removes the need to specify navigational elements when resolving properties. Things like
links
are renamed as_links
andembed
renamed as_embed
, which is what they are called in HAL. Here're a few examples of what you can do with this change.api._links.posts_categories
api.posts_categories
api.links.posts.embedded.posts.first
api.posts.first
api._links.post._expand(id: 3).first
api.post(id: 3).first
I think this goes a long way into making clients really productive with an API and abstract away the fact that the API is a HAL one. This also opens the door to implementing other JSON format support without needing to rewrite client code, because navigational elements are something specific to HAL.
