elm-jsonapi decodes any JSON API compliant payload and provides helper functions for working with the results.
This library only provides base functionality for decoding payloads and working with the results. A more sophisticated wrapper which includes content negotation with servers can be found here.
See the documentation at: http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/noahzgordon/elm-jsonapi/latest

- Links objects are unsupported. Links will only be captured if delivered as string values.
- There is no dedicated type for Resource Identifiers. If your document's primary data is composed of Resource Identifiers, they will be represented as Resources without attributes or relationships.
