DodaTech Updated 2026-06-28 1 min read

In this tutorial, you will learn about HATEOAS Query Templates. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you master this topic.

HATEOAS query templates use URI templates (RFC 6570) to represent parameterized links, allowing clients to fill in search, filter, and pagination parameters without manual URL construction.

What You'll Learn

  • URI template syntax (RFC 6570)
  • Templated links in HAL and JSON:API
  • Search and filter query templates
  • Client-side template resolution
  • Security considerations for templated queries

What's Next

Combine templates with {{< ilink "HATEOAS" "HATEOAS Pagination" }} patterns and {{< ilink "REST API" "HATEOAS Link Discovery" }} for complete client navigation.
