How to get hal_json format as Drupal output?

Question

I installed Drupal 8 and these modules on my host:

These are all core modules except REST UI.

According to Drupal tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xCndQQVJsg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnZo5lMICKc) when I enter this URL, Drupal would show JSON format of node 1:

www.example.com/node/1?format=hal_json

But it shows the normal (HTML) view of node 1.

What should I do to get JSON or hal+json format as output?

To improve your question, please provide a link to the modules you installed, and the tutorials you tried. — Wim Mostrey, Commented Jan 13, 2017 at 12:15

This should work! Make sure you enabled the Resources to read out nodes.

I think the string should be ?_format=hal_json
