Serializing and Deserializing json in a different format. [DATAREST-614]

Jack Matthews opened DATAREST-614 and commented

I need to serialize my json in http://jsonapi.org/ instead of HAL. I have tried modifying ObjectMapper by setting my own converters.

	@Bean
	public ConversionService conversionService() {
		ConversionServiceFactoryBean bean = new ConversionServiceFactoryBean();
		bean.setConverters(getConverters());
		bean.afterPropertiesSet();
		ConversionService object = bean.getObject();
		return object;
	}

	private Set<Converter> getConverters() {
		Set<Converter> converters = new HashSet<>();

		converters.add(new JsonApiSerializingConverter());
		converters.add(new JsonApiDeserializingConverter());

		return converters;
	}

but this only modifies the "content" part of the payload. It still includes a whole lot of HAL boilerplate. Is there a way to register a custom json format and scrap the HAL one completely? I am happy to do the work in integrating this format but need some pointers in the best way to approach this
