Difference in behavior when using $format

I am sorry I forgot to add subject line in my previous email.

All,
I am trying the sample service provided on the apache olingo website.
When I give the following request:
http://localhost:8080/DemoService/DemoService.svc/Products

I see that an element <a:link rel="edit" href="Products(2)"/> with results
but when I run
http://localhost:8080/DemoService/DemoService.svc/Products?$format=json
The json does not contain href . Can someone explain why this difference in
behavior?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Best,
Anurag

In atom the payload contains all the data, in json payload there are different levels, minimal, none, full. The default is minimal which does not contain the edit urls.
