Description
Link to a HAL resource that represents the collection of sub items of the parent folder, as in loc:collection, but at the position of the current item (unless defined otherwise with the query parameter offset). Sub items can be folders or asset references.
More precisely, the behavior depends on the query parameter limit that is used by the client to define how many items the service should return: If the caller asks for limit=20 items, the service usually returns 20 items with the requested item as the first in the list, but with two exceptions:
-
If the folder contains less than or equal to 20 items in total, the response contains all items in the folder. The requested item can be anywhere in that list.
-
If the requested item is one of the last 20 items in the folder, the service returns the last 20 items. The requested item can be anywhere in that list.
