Nested Example

This implements an API where the root resource is an Artist which can have Albums and MusicVideos. Then, Albums can have Songs.

It demonstrates:

• APIs with nested/related resources
• Custom ResponseWrapper which allows a Song response to show Album details
• extensions.HATEOAS to easily add hypermedia linking to resources so a user can discover Albums by looking at an Artist and then discover Songs for the Album.
