 == Customizing the Representation
 
-The Spring Data REST exporter executes any discovered `ResourceProcessor` instances before it creates the output representation. It does so by registering a `Converter<Entity, Resource>` instance with an internal `ConversionService`. This is the component responsible for creating the links to referenced entities (such as those objects under the `_links` property in the object's JSON representation). It takes an `@Entity` and iterates over its properties, creating links for those properties that are managed by a `Repository` and copying across any embedded or simple properties.

 If your project needs to have output in a different format, however, you can completely replace the default outgoing JSON representation with your own. If you register your own `ConversionService` in the `ApplicationContext` and register your own `Converter<Entity, Resource>`, you can return a `Resource` implementation of your choosing.

-The preceding command (by default) executes a `GET`. Spring Data REST checks for `If-None-Match` headers while doing a `GET`. If the header matches the ETag, it concludes that nothing has changed and, instead of sending a copy of the resource, sends back an HTTP `304 Not Modified` status code. Semantically, it reads "`If this supplied header value does not match the server-side version, send the whole resource. Otherwise, do not send anything.`"

 NOTE: This POJO is from an `ETag`-based unit test, so it does not have `@Entity` (JPA) or `@Document` (MongoDB) annotations, as expected in application code. It focuses solely on how a field with `@Version` results in an `ETag` header.
