[jira] [Created] (ATLAS-1101) A less chatty REST API style required for UIs

David Radley created ATLAS-1101:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: A less chatty REST API style required for UIs
                 Key: ATLAS-1101
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1101
             Project: Atlas
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: David Radley


The current style of the REST API has references everywhere there can be. I think that when we use this style of REST API we would need to constantly issue more RESt calls to find the referred to object.

For UIs a less chatty style of Rest API would be easier to use and more performant. I suggest having subobjects included in the responses rather than the reference (href) . I think we would need a paging capability to ensure that we do not get swamped with lots of data.
