HATEOAS stands for ‘Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State’.
HATEOAS is a principle in which your data formats drive the state transitions in your application.
Links to other resources are embedded within the response data format and going to these links will change the state of your applications.

Roy Fielding coined the acronym REST in his Ph.D dissertation to describe an architectural style in the design of scalable web services.
