I am building a web service where my clients can only accept application/json as a response. But Spring Hateoas seems to not respect my produces in the GetMapping annotation, and always returns HAL.

I have already tried: putting

spring.hateoas.useHalAsDefaultJsonMediaType=false

also in kebab case: 

spring.hateoas.use-hal-as-default-json-media-type=false

Also putting 

spring.data.rest.defaultMediaType=application/json

I have tried putting produces=application/json in the @GetMapping annotation and in the controller.

We have also tried implementing:

SpringRestConfiguration implements RepositoryRestConfigurer...

None of these things worked.

Our spring boot version is 2.0.8

We expect the response json to be in application/json without the "_embedded" for a list of resources.

  • Hi @JayRizzo, perhaps I did not ask this question properly but those articles did not really help. I am able return a JSON when "links" is an array of objects. But in the case where I need "links" to be an object of objects, it seems like HAL format is the only way to accomplish this. Is there a way to send back a JSON while links is an object of objects? Thanks! – Ben Yan Jun 25 '19 at 02:07
