The example below is how you might represent a collection of orders with hal+json. Things to look for:

• The URI of the main resource being represented ('/orders') expressed with a self link
• The 'next' link pointing to the next page of orders
• A templated link called 'ea:find' for searching orders by id
• The multiple 'ea:admin' link objects contained in an array
• Two properties of the orders collection; 'currentlyProcessing' and 'shippedToday'
• Embedded order resources with their own links and properties
• The compact URI (curie) named 'ea' for expanding the name of the links to their documentation
