REST (json) web service discovery protocol

Question

Is there any json-only standard to handle resource discovery (ie. collections of editable entries) ?

I mean some "protocol" to use in a self-describing REST service, eventually with hypermedia discovery (read, links and paging)

What about some Atom Publishing Protocol json equivalent ?

Answer 1

Maybe you can use something like this: http://restdesc.org/

Answer 2

Perhaps you should have a look at Hydra (which works with JSON-LD). If you find it interesting, there's a Hydra W3C Community Group you may wanna join.

Here's the recording of a talk in which I describe both Hydra and JSON-LD: Building Next-Generation Web APIs with JSON-LD and Hydra

Disclaimer: I'm the creator of Hydra and the chair of the Hydra CG. I'm also one of the core designers of JSON-LD and a co-author and editor of its specifications.

Maybe you could take a look at JSON-LD: http://json-ld.org/
