A sample implementation of the Restbucks ordering application from the book REST in Practice, built with Spring ecosystem technologies. It demonstrates a hypermedia-driven REST web service using HAL as the primary representation format, with an accompanying adaptive Android client.

Use cases

• learn how to build hypermedia-driven REST APIs with Spring
• see a reference implementation of the Restbucks example from REST in Practice
• study HAL-based REST service design in Java
• explore how a hypermedia-aware client adapts to server changes
• use as a template for Spring Boot REST projects with HAL forms

When to choose

• you are learning REST and hypermedia design patterns with the Spring ecosystem
• you want a working example of HAL and HAL-FORMS in a Spring Boot service
• you need a reference for implementing REST in Practice's Restbucks sample

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready ordering or e-commerce system
• you want a framework or library to depend on rather than sample code
• you need a project with a maintained license or long-term support guarantees
