Currently spring-data-rest is returning JSON in HAL format in a spring-boot project of mine. I am using an ember.js frontend and want to use jsonapi (http://jsonapi.org/) specification.
How might I register a new JSON formatting strategy given I will need to write the formatter myself as one does not exists yet?
This is how you can customize the HATEOAS that Spring Data REST produces:
If you need to completely replace the JSON representation with your own, then you can write and register your own org.springframework.core.convert.converter
Or you write your custom REST endpoints in a plain old @RepositoryRestController and implement your own REST endpoints. (<= I suggest try this)
