Reflecting on REST API best practices

Now, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve done so far. While coding, we may have forgotten a couple of best practices we already know from previous chapters. So, let’s go back and see where we didn’t do well and appreciate things we did well:

1. Consistent and resource-oriented URL design:
   • Best practice: REST APIs should have clear, logical, and resource-oriented URLs. Each URL should consistently represent a specific resource or collection of resources.
   • Implementation in our API:
     • Our user management API uses RESTful routes such as /users to access the user collection and /users/:id for specific user operations
