HATEOAS principles

HATEOAS, which stands for "Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State," is a principle in web development that emphasizes using hyperlinks to guide users through applications. Instead of needing to know specific URLs or actions, users receive links to relevant resources and actions based on their current context. This approach allows for more dynamic and flexible interactions, as the application can evolve without breaking existing links. Essentially, HATEOAS enhances user experience by making navigation intuitive and contextual, allowing users to discover features and content seamlessly.
