If you are including related resources with 'includes' you can also specify fields on those resources as well.  For example, `includes=jobs&fields[people]=jobs&fields[jobs]=title` will just return titles for jobs.  See [Sparse Fieldsets](https://jsonapi.org/format/#fetching-sparse-fieldsets) for more details.

For example, `page[size]=5&page[after]=400&page[before]=800` will return a response with data about 5 people whose `id` value falls after `400` but before `800`. So `page[size]` determines the number of people resources in a response, `page[after]` is the ID of the person at the end of the previous page, `page[before]` is the ID of the person at the start of the next page. Offset pagination is also supported using `page[number]` parameter (example: `page[number]=4&page[size]=10`), but it is disabled by default. The `page[number]` determines the page to display. Offset pagination has significantly worse performance than cursor pagination, so it should only be used by applications that can''t support cursor pagination. Contact the developers if you would like to enable it.'
