Benefits
- HTTP Content-Type agnoticism. Information about total items, selected ranges, and next- previous-links are sent through headers. It works without modifying your API payload in any way.
- Graceful degredation. Both client and server specify the maximum page size they accept and communication gracefully degrades to accomodate the lesser.
- Expressive retrieval. This approach, unlike the use of
per_pageandpageparameters, allows the client to request any (possibly unbounded) interval of items. - Semantic HTTP. Built in strict conformance to RFCs 2616 and 5988.
