REST Technology / Code

• Technology: After a technology comparison we have decided to focus on Spring MVC + Spring HATEOASto build a REST API primary focus on JSON HAL.
  • The original discussion around the considered technologies is still available here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dAPjq6xSy7A5Q_xXIxLXgJ2VqugFpxeSmMmvbr2mM5M/edit?usp=sharing
• Source Code:
  • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/rest7/dspace-spring-rest

• Tasks / Tickets:
  • We've begun creating tasks as subtickets of this main JIRA ticket:
