Clients that support the Collection+JSON media type MAY be able to recognize and parse command templates found within responses. Command templates MAY consist of a data
array associated with an href
property. The commands
array supports command templates.
For command templates, the name/value pairs of the data
array set are sent as JSON in the body ({"id": 1, "members_to_notify": "all"}
) or multipart/form-data, both via an HTTP POST.
The commands
array is an OPTIONAL top-level property of the Collection+JSON document.
The commands
array SHOULD contain one or more anonymous objects. Each object composed of five possible properties: href
(REQUIRED), rel
(REQUIRED), name
(OPTIONAL), prompt
(OPTIONAL), and a data
array (OPTIONAL).
If present, the data
array represents command parameters for the associated href
property of the same object. See Command Templates for details.
