Hi, We are working on writing Hypermedia clients for our APIs using JSON-LD+Hydra. We are using Jena to get most of the heavy lifting.
I am new to Jena and just getting hold of the reins at the moment. The JSON-LD spec provides option for defining the context in a separate link header (Refer: https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#interpreting-json-as-json-ld) Hydra also supports similar structure (since it is implemented over JSON-LD) for supporting API documentation. This also helps in reducing the payload size. The parser that is in-built in JSON-LD doesn't seem to read the 'Link' header in the document and build a context. Please correct me if I am wrong. I couldn't find an easy way to access the headers through Jena, unless I make a second call using HttpOp() or hack HttpOp() writing an additional method to access the required headers. If Link headers have to be used to interpret the context, can you suggest me an appropriate way to do this. Secondly, I could not find support for additional techniques like Json web tokens. (http://jwt.io) which also requires a write option to the HTTP Headers. And sending any custom headers to the server is also another issue that I am looking to solve. My questions: 1. How do I handle Link headers in building JSON-LD context? 2. Is there a better way to handle the headers problem without making a second HEAD call to the URL 3. Is there a way to write custom headers to Jean's ARQ request? It would be helpful if you can point me to the right resource to get this done. Thank you.
