# Spring Data REST API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/spring/spring-data-rest-api/  
**Provider:** Spring Framework — https://apis.io/providers/spring/

Spring Data REST API is one of 14 APIs that [Spring Framework](https://apis.io/providers/spring/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include CRUD, Data, HATEOAS, Hypermedia, and REST. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

Spring Data REST automatically exports Spring Data repository interfaces as RESTful hypermedia-driven APIs using HAL (Hypertext Application Language). It enables CRUD operations on domain entities through discoverable REST endpoints without writing controller code. The API supports HATEOAS linking, projections, validation, and event hooks.
