Except now your server has to handle a lot more connections.
Was recently dealing with a list of 100+ simple text fields each with unique identifying meta info.
Most usage of the form would only involve updating a few at a time, but on initial entry or a large update all of them could be updated or deleted.
A RESTful approach would have me submit 100+ individual PUT requests. However for a smaller instance of our server it would likely be affected by 100s of requests at a time and it would significantly complicate the client code to make all of these requests at a time and do the error handling for it.
It’s actually a small payload, even with 100 items, so it’s ridiculous to send them individual in order to be “correct” if it
- leads to a worse user experience.
- increases load on the server.
- complicates the codebase.
