What is the preferred Internet media type of a RESTful POST request?
- by rdasxy
Is there a preferred/recommended Internet Media Type for RESTful POST requests?
For example, if I want to add a new user, should I send the data as a URL encoded string like:
name=Foo&otherData=Bar
or does REST recommend I send the data as whatever format the response is going to be sent as (e.g. JSON/XML)?
<user>
<name>Foo</name>
<other-data>Bar</other-data>
</user>
