Master Java Web Services and REST API with Spring Boot- Step 16 - Implementing HATEOAS for RESTful Services

The video tutorial explains how to perform operations on resources in web applications, focusing on the concept of HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State). It demonstrates how to implement HATEOAS using Spring Boot, allowing resources to be returned with links for additional actions. The tutorial covers adding links to resources, ensuring that changes in URLs do not affect the application, and testing the implementation. The goal is to make RESTful web services more user-friendly by providing consumers with easy access to related resources.
