Hi all,

a design question on best handling for Link/unlink of two resources vs
removal of a child Item from a Parent list. For example difference between
adding removing from a Group  vs add/remove of a child record in former
case, there is no child delete - in the latter (the child record would be
deleted)

1)manage  CRUD for dependent Child record :      /parents/{id}/children/27  
GET

which is preferred?

a) /parents/{id}/children/27 DELETE      
b)  /children/27 DELETE    //  I prefer this one as i want to avoid a
runaway url:  /parents/{id}/children{id}/toys/{}

2) Link/unlink   (entity to a group (many_2_many)    
/group/{id}/children/27  GET

a) /group/{id}/children/27        PUT  or POST?
b)  /group/{id}/associate?child=27       POST?
c)  /group/{id}/associate/27 PUT ?

let me know your thoughts on the best practice for the linking case...

Cheers,
Mike
