Does the API Platform framework fully support HATEOAS?

Currently I am working on a REST API and noticed, that for real REST it is essential to provide the possible HTTP operations of the resource within the HTTP response (e.g. in JSON-LD format).

After playing around with Swagger, I got to JSON-LD and Hydra, which in combination provide the foundation for real REST.

The problem with pure JSON-LD and Hydra is, that there is no real editor (the Playground does help for testing but not for editing).

Then I found Api Platform which sounds quite promising but I could not find any hint, that it supports real REST.

Does API Platform support HATEOAS in terms of providing the possible HTTP operations?

API Platform explicitly supports HATEOAS and they even encourage using Hydra. Their admin UI supports viewing the API through an OpenAPI lens or a Hydra lens.
