Relationship links, without associated data

[odlp]

We're a bit stuck trying to unmarshal the links of a relationship.

Given this abbreviated example from the JSON-API spec:

{
  "type": "articles",
  "id": "1",
  "attributes": {
    "title": "JSON API paints my bikeshed!"
  },
  "relationships": {
    "author": {
      "links": {
        "self": "http://example.com/articles/1/relationships/author"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reading the spec, it states that an relationship entity with just links (e.g. author -> links -> self) is valid:

How would we read the self link of the Author relationship in this example above?

Here's an attempt of the structs, but this doesn't work:

type Article struct {
    ID     string  `jsonapi:"primary,articles"`
    Title  string  `jsonapi:"attr,title"`
    Author *Author `jsonapi:"relation,author"`
}

type Author struct {
    SelfLink string `jsonapi:"links,self"`
}

This library does not (yet) support links, meta or errors objects.
