Status
This package has now been rewritten, substantially improved and released as the laravel-json-api/laravel package.
Documentation for the new version is available on our new website laraveljsonapi.io and the
code is now developed under the
Laravel JSON:API Github organisation.
The cloudcreativity/laravel-json-api package is now considered to be the legacy package. As we know it is in use in
a lot of production applications, it will continue to receive bug fixes and updates for new Laravel versions. However,
it is no longer supported for new features.
If you are starting a new project, please use the
new package laravel-json-api/laravel instead.

What is JSON API?
From jsonapi.org
If you've ever argued with your team about the way your JSON responses should be formatted, JSON API is your anti-bikeshedding weapon.
By following shared conventions, you can increase productivity, take advantage of generalized tooling, and focus on what matters: your application. Clients built around JSON API are able to take advantage of its features around efficiently caching responses, sometimes eliminating network requests entirely.
For full information on the spec, plus examples, see http://jsonapi.org.
