The hal+json strategy

Finally, the HalJsonStrategy class is configured in a similar manner:

# web.responder.strategy.hal_json
from web.responder.strategy.base import Base
class HalJsonStrategy(Base) :
    content_type = 'application/hal+json'

You might notice that the render() method for this format is even more concise as data values are directly placed at the top level:

    
    def render(self) :
        payload = dict({'_links':{'self':{'href':self.link }}})
        if self.error :
            payload['error'] = self.error
        if self.data :
            for key, value in self.data.items() :
                payload.update({ key : value })
        return self.buildOutput(self.content_type, payload)

Let's now create a REST responder.
