Media types

IN PROGRESS

Evaluate Media Types

• start with Collection/JSON
• See later if we want to use HAL in addition or replacement
• note: both "standards" are evolving, so we are likely to update the lib for time to time.

Create/Choose Media Types

• Collection/JSON

Graph Data Model

• content: graphviz’s code
• id: UUID, shortname, integer ..
• title: user friendly title
• description: description of the graph
• (image: generated graph from the graphviz’s code)

Collection/JSON Hypermedia API

  { // based on Collection+JSON media type
    // http://www.amundsen.com/media-types/collection/
      "collection" : {
  "href" : "...",
  "version" : "1.0",
  "links" : [
 	{"rel" : "author", "href" : "...", "prompt" : "Author"},
	{"rel" : "profile", "href" : "...", "prompt" : "Profile"}
      ],

    //Queries
     "queries" : [
	{"rel" : "all", "href" : "...", "prompt" : "All Graphs"},
	{"rel" : "byName", "href" : "...", "prompt" : "byName",
	"data" : [
		{"name" : "name", "value" : "", "prompt" : "Graph Name"},
		]
	}
	],

    //Graph Collections
     "items" : [
       {"href" : "...",
        "data" :[
		{"name" : "title", "value" : "Web", "prompt" :"Title"},

		{"name" : "id", "value" : "1", "prompt" : "Id"},

                    {"name" : "representation", "value" : "...", "prompt" : "Binary Representation"}
	]
    }
     ]

    //Graph template
    // Use this date to create a new Graph 
 "template" :
	{"data" :[
