How exactly should Spring Data Rest be configured to return plain JSON instead of HAL (JSON with Hypermedia like links)

- Spring Data Rest -Disable self links(HAL) in Json
- and big Disable Hypertext Application Language (HAL) in JSON?
- using jsonapi instead of HAL Changing the JSON format for spring-data-rest
Add the below property to your application.properties or yml . By default it is application/hal+json
spring.data.rest.defaultMediaType=application/json
for me spring.data.rest.defaultMediaType=application/json
does not take effect. But it can be approched by programmed config, like below :
public class SpringRestConfiguration implements RepositoryRestConfigurer {
@Override
public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
config.setDefaultMediaType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
config.useHalAsDefaultJsonMediaType(false);
}
}
