Describe a strategy to handle partial updates to resources in a RESTful API.
- Using the HTTP PATCH method
- Sending the entire resource with updated fields
- Creating a new resource for each update
- Using the PUT method to replace the entire resource
Handling partial updates in a RESTful API is often achieved using the HTTP PATCH method. It allows clients to send only the fields that need to be updated, reducing network overhead and improving efficiency. Sending the entire resource with updated fields is an option but is less efficient. Creating a new resource for each update may not align with the RESTful principles of resource manipulation. Using the PUT method is suitable for full resource replacement, not partial updates.
