Problem/Motivation

Currently our entry point is a JSON API -ish response to the /jsonapi endpoint. However, it could be worth adopting https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-json-home-06 for it and stop pretending that it's valid JSON API.

It's worth noting that moving to this new solution will break BC.

Proposed resolution

Discuss the value of this, given that we need to break BC to implement it.

Ohhh!

      A "resources" member, whose value is an object that describes the
      resources associated with the API.  Its member names are link
      relation types (as defined by [RFC5988]), and their values are
      Resource Objects (Section 4).

This sounds very sensible :)

This also taught me about the existence of https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7240, which I'd never seen before.

Do you believe people use that for their actual sites? At least for me this sounds like something you do during development time, which could be argued not any BC break.

So the proposal is to get rid of /jsonapi/ and respond to any requests containing the application/json-home Content-Type?

It think it should be configurable.

JSON API is zero configuration. I think it should remain so.

The plan is to replace only the entry point (/jsonapi). Every thing else remains the same.

I love this idea, ALSO because this makes it possible to not have this conversation in core and maybe keep jsonapi_extra in contrib land.
