Ask HN: How were your experiences using HAL APIs?

Hey HN, The HAL specification for APIs is something I&#x27;ve only learned of recently, having been introduced to it through a project I&#x27;m working on.<p>I just wanted to gauge the experiences of others and find out when and why you would choose to use it. I&#x27;m a front-ender who would be consuming an API written in this way.<p>* What were the biggest benefits for using HAL? * Did you face any difficulties or inconvenience? * Did you use HAL in response to a problem you were faced with? What was it? * Was the trade-off of benefits and problems worth the investment?<p>Some info for others like myself who are new to HAL.<p>* HAL Specification: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stateless.co&#x2F;hal_specification.html * HAL Primer: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;phlyrestfully.readthedocs.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;latest&#x2F;halprimer.html<p>Thanks for your time.
