REST

• Use plural resource type names (e.g. students).
• Nest child resource paths if appropriate (e.g. /groups/1/students).
• Use appropriate response status codes (2xx, 4xx, 5xx).
• Use JSON payloads and have a consistent response structure:
  • Same structure for all types of errors.
  • Same structure for all resources of the same type.
