Michael Norman commented on CAMP-211:
-------------------------------------

There was discussion of allowing a "depth"  parameter in the API to allow deep serialization of Resources e.g. when an Assembly is retrieved with depth=2, to retrieve all the Operations attached to that Assembly inlined in the Assembly, and with depth=3, also to show for each Operation the ParameterDefinitions of that Operation inlined in the Operation.

> When you retrieve a resource (either as a single resource or part of a collection), it may contain links to other collection resources.  For example an assembly may have links to its Operations.  Each of these Operations in turn contains links to its Parameter Definitions.  This means that in order to create a UI display of a list of Assemblies with their Operations it is necessary to retrieve the list of Assemblies, and then for each Assembly in the view, to retrieve its Operations.  If you wish to show the parameters of each Operation in the same view, you have to go one level deeper.
