PATCH HTTP method support

News


Abstract

Specify REST APIs that accept the PATCH HTTP method

Content

What is it?

When you deploy a REST API in an IWS server, you can specify one of the following HTTP methods for the API to handle:
  • GET
  • POST
  • PUT
  • DELETE
With this update, you now have the option of also selecting the PATCH HTTP method.

Why use it?

In the world of REST APIs, each HTTP method has a purpose.  The POST HTTP method is typically used to create a resource. The PUT HTTP method is used to update all fields in the resource.  The PATCH HTTP method is used to indicate that some fields need to be updated.
