ODP: Re: 'expects' return value per status code?

Hi Ruben

Bu Hydra does not allow me to document that my API expects/returns in a given operation something else than a hydra:Class. I'd like to have a possibility to express that in my very operation a non-RDF resource is also in place.

I could put as a value of a hydra:expects an rdf:Resource or something else, but still reasoner will end up with a hydra:Class which will be untrue.

BTW. I'm looking forward for a collections discussion. I've got almost ready a C# ReST self documenting API ready and few ideas to share.

Regards

Why would that not be possible?
Hydra describes the contents of the resource,
not what the representation should look like.

I.e., you would say "send me a resource with details about a person",
and this resource could be represented as JSON-LD, plain text, Excel…
(of course the server wouldn't support just any format,
but it's important to distinguish between resources and representations).

Best,

Ruben
