2) Standardize the structure of members so that client programs can consistently
parse the return information.
3) Added a summary parameter so that client programs can easily determine if the
information returned is summary (item type, item title) or the full meal deal
relationships. Now when you view a resource, it has 4 top level
elements:
url: the url of this resource
resource: array of key value pairs describing the resource
members: array of urls to members of this collection
relationships: array of array of members.
Relationships are a special type of collection that links two
different resources together. To remove a relationship, just
DELETE its url. To create a relationship, POST to its
collection.
Individual modules can add their own relationships to any
resource via a callback mechanism.
Example:
Array(
[url] => http://g3.com/rest/item/1
[resource] => Array (
[id] => 1
[album_cover_item_id] => 4
[captured] =>
[created] => 1264056417
[description] =>
[height] =>
...
)
[members] => Array(
[0] => http://g3.com/rest/item/2
[1] => http://g3.com/rest/item/3
[2] => http://g3.com/rest/item/4
[3] => http://g3.com/rest/item/5
...
)
[relationships] => Array(
[tags] => Array (
[0] => http://g3.com/rest/tag_item/2,1
[1] => http://g3.com/rest/tag_item/23,1
)
)
)
