How to get hal_json format as Drupal output? I installed Drupal 8 and these modules on my host:


HAL
HTTP Basic Authentication
RESTful Web Services
REST UI
Serialization


These are all core modules except REST UI.

According to Drupal tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xCndQQVJsg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnZo5lMICKc) when I enter this URL, Drupal would show JSON format of node 1:

www.example.com/node/1?format=hal_json


But it shows the normal (HTML) view of node 1.

What should I do to get JSON or hal+json format as output?
Send a GET to http://theurl.com/node/1?_format=hal+json

This should work! Make sure you enabled the Resources to read out nodes.
