Using HATEOAS and Backbone.js

order.js

var Order = Backbone.Model.extend({
});
	
var HalModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
  url: function() {
    return get("_links").self;
  },
});
	
parse: function(response) {
    this.url = response._links.self;
    delete response._links;
    return response;
}

response.json

[
  {
     "_links": {
       "self": "/orders/123"
     }
     "name": "Order #123",
     "date": "2012/02/23"
