Embedding resources at the consumer's demand is one of the crucial features of a modern API. We mentioned in Modern Web Services with JSON:API and GraphQL that multiple round trips to the server is harmful for performance. This issue can be overcome by making a request that embeds any required related resources into the response for the resource we're retrieving.
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to use JSON:API's include parameter to embed resources in a response.
By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to make a single request that retrieves multiple embeded resources in order to improve the performance of your application when interacting with a JSON:API server.
Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously.

- Defining what a hug is
