#[](name_or_rel) ⇒ Object

Returns the value of the specified property or representations

of resources related via the specified link rel or nil

name_or_rel - The name of property or link rel of interest

def [](name_or_rel)
  item_key = name_or_rel
  fetch(item_key, nil)
end

#fetch(name_or_rel, default = MISSING, &default_proc) ⇒ Object

Returns the value of the specified property or representations

of resources related via the specified link rel or the
specified default value.

name_or_rel - The name of property or link rel of interest default - an optional object that should be return if the

specified property or link does not exist

default_proc - an option proc that will be called with name

to produce default value if the specified property or link does not
exist

Raises KeyError if the specified property or link does not exist

and no default nor default_proc is provided.

  }
end

#has_related?(link_rel) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if this representation contains a link (including embedded links) whose rel is link_rel.

link_rel - The link rel of interest

Returns:

templated links that are encountered

default_proc - an option proc that will be called with name

to produce default value if the specified property or link does not
exist

Raises KeyError if the specified link does not exist
