Strategies for making FOS RestBundle and json HAL integratable in RESTful apis

What would be good strategies/approaches to integrate the HAL specification with the FOSRestBundle?

Although this can work quite well, I think it should be integrated with listeners. That would require some thinking, and potentially the topics below would have to be covered:

Take a look at http://www.apigility.org by ZF2 team. Apigility serves in JSON HAL format. Here is a nice article on how to integrate a Symfony2 app with Apigility: http://www.zimuel.it/create-api-symfony2-apigility

You will probably love the Hateoas library, and its Symfony2 bundle: BazingaHateoasBundle.

If you whant to implement Hal specification, there is a bundle for that alterway/RestHalBundle. You do not need to implement it in FOSRestBundle.

And for error handling : alterway / RestProblemBundle
