It does help guide you towards building well-connected APIs, and makes it easy to design appropriate media types, but it does not strictly enforce any particular design style. -## What REST framework *does* provide. +## What REST framework provides.  It is self evident that REST framework makes it possible to build Hypermedia APIs.  The browseable API that it offers is built on HTML - the hypermedia language of the web.  REST framework also includes [serialization] and [parser]/[renderer] components that make it easy to build appropriate media types, [hyperlinked relations][fields] for building well-connected systems, and great support for [content negotiation][conneg]. -## What REST framework *doesn't* provide. +## What REST framework doesn't provide.  What REST framework doesn't do is give you is machine readable hypermedia formats such as [Collection+JSON][collection] or HTML [microformats] by default, or the ability to auto-magically create fully HATEOAS style APIs that include hypermedia-based form descriptions and semantically labelled hyperlinks.  Doing so would involve making opinionated choices about API design that should really remain outside of the framework's scope.  |
