How HTTP PUT should work

Question

For example, there is resource on URI: /api/items/123

Response body for GET request is {"Id": "123", "Foo": "foo", "Bar": "bar"}

I send PUT request. The body of it is {"Bar": "newBarValue"}

In case of this request body, should properties Id and Foo be removed? Or just Bar property should be modified? Or server should return error code?

Answer 1

PUT 和 GET 应使用完整资源。

如果您只想更新资源（并且只发送 Bar），那么您也可以使用 PATCH http 动词。
