Linkset is a new IETF specification that defines two formats for representing Web Links. This means that links that typically are sent in HTTP headers or embedded in other data now can be represented as standalone resources. Using these new resources, it becomes easier to design APIs that expose complex relationships between resources. In this presentation we look at typical use cases for using interlinked resources in APIs, introduce the Linkset specification and its formats, and look at two real-world examples that are using the specification. Attendees walk away with a better understanding of why links are useful in APIs, and new options for how to use links in API designs.
