Migrating from Spring HATEOAS 1.x to 2.x involves significant changes that can impact your application if not handled carefully.
Common pitfalls during migration include package structure changes, deprecated classes/methods, changes in link creation, and media type registration.
Strategies to address these pitfalls include updating import statements, replacing deprecated classes/methods with recommended alternatives, updating link creation methods, and using the new hypermedia type registration API.
Testing and validation after migration are crucial, and compatibility with Spring Boot versions should be verified.
