Everything about Hypertext Application Language
Proposed computer definition standard
Hypertext Application Language (HAL) is a convention for defining hypermedia such as links to external resources within JSON or XML code. It is documented in an Internet Draft, with the latest version 11 published 10 October 2023. The standard was initially proposed in June 2012, specifically for use with JSON, and has since become available in two variations, JSON and XML. The two associated MIME types are application/hal+xml and application/hal+json. Wikipedia →
