Root List Resource¶

Links to all the main resources, including URI templates to resources anywhere in the tree.

This should be used as a starting point for any clients that need to access any resources in the API. By browsing through the resource tree instead of hard-coding paths, your client can remain compatible with any changes in the resource URI scheme.

This also contains information on the server and the capabilities of the API. This information was formerly provided only by the Server Info resource, but has been moved here as a convenience to clients.
