HAL curies for docs, separating curie URL templates from link relation descriptions. The differences below are due to the way that WebLinking RFC 5988 has specified that non-registered relations must be URLs

hal-snippet.js

"_links": {
  "curies": [
    {
      "name": "doc",
      "href": "http://haltalk.herokuapp.com/docs/{rel}",
      "templated": true
    }
  ],

  // this is the "latest-posts" link relation. The base documentation URL can change
  // without breaking clients that are looking for 'latest-posts'
  "doc:latest-posts": {
    "href": "/posts/latest"
  }
}
