Embracing the power of the empty set in API design

• Lockal 1y ago
  That's a good one: common API design is: /resources - return all resources /resources?type=a&type=b (or type=a,b) - return resources of given type. Then suddenly UI team implements checkbox-based deletion (or bulk edit). User deselects all checkboxes, and UI sends DELETE `/resources` (or `?type=`), suddenly deletes all resources.
