Hands-On RESTful API Design Patterns and Best Practices

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The four basic HTTP operations: GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE."

A block of code is set as follows:

@GetMapping({"/v1/investors","/v1.1/investors","/v2/investors"})  public List<Investor> fetchAllInvestors()    {       return investorService.fetchAllInvestors();    }

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

public interface DeleteServiceFacade {    boolean deleteAStock(String investorId, String stockTobeDeletedSymbol);
