* HTTP Content-Type agnoticism. Information about total items,
selected ranges, and next- previous-links are sent through headers.
It works without modifying your API payload in any way.
* Graceful degredation. Both client and server specify the maximum
page size they accept and communication gracefully degrades to
accomodate the lesser.
* Expressive retrieval. This approach, unlike the use of per_page and
page` parameters, allows the client to request any (possibly unbounded)
interval of items.
* Semantic HTTP. Built in strict conformance to RFCs 2616 and 5988.
