Assuming your web app supports deep linking, like an AngularJS one would.
Assume basic crud of Foo. So list, create, edit and delete.
If a user bookmarks in your app an edit page or simply refreshes the page, thanks to deep linking you now skip over the list part of navigation.
So the user's browser hits:
http://example.org/#/foos/1
This then tells AngularJS I want foo 1.
It now has to discover how to get foo 1 from the REST API.
How does the application do this?
