今天遇到个新词，spring  HATEOAS,一看就知道是spring支持的项目，再查询下
居然 HATEOAS这个词是跟REST有关系的，但可惜中文资料少，只能找到英文的资料：

​​​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS ​​​
HATEOAS, an abbreviation for Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State, is a constraint of the REST application architecture that distinguishes it from most other network application architectures. The principle is that a client interacts with a network application entirely through hypermedia provided dynamically by application servers. A REST client needs no prior knowledge about how to interact with any particular application or server beyond a generic understanding of hypermedia. Contrast this with e.g. a service-oriented architecture (SOA), where clients and servers interact through a fixed interface shared through documentation or an interface description language (IDL).
The HATEOAS constraint serves to decouple client and server in a way that allows the server to evolve functionality independently.

超媒体即引用状态引擎（Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State,缩写为HATEOAS）

找了下，一个不错的中文简介见这个连接：

而这个老外

则使用bootstrap，jquery,thymleaf,spring hateoas springmvc实现了一个DEMO，
