This is a backward-incompatible change that removes the need to specify navigational elements when resolving properties. Things like
linksare renamed as_linksandembedrenamed as_embed, which is what they are called in HAL. Here're a few examples of what you can do with this change.api._links.posts_categoriesapi.posts_categoriesapi.links.posts.embedded.posts.firstapi.posts.firstapi._links.post._expand(id: 3).firstapi.post(id: 3).firstI think this goes a long way into making clients really productive with an API and abstract away the fact that the API is a HAL one. This also opens the door to implementing other JSON format support without needing to rewrite client code, because navigational elements are something specific to HAL.
