Plural vs singular, etc.

[Stan Lemon]

Is there any consensus on this topic?

My DBA-blood wants to go singular, but I'm seeing a lot of folks advocate for plural. Are there any proposed rfcs around resource naming or anything like that?

Also somewhat curious what the consensus is on property naming in responses, snake or camel cased?

Thanks,

SL

I usually go for plural because IMHO it's more logical to read "/users/1337" as "In users collection, give me the one with id 1337"

I also use snake case because I found it more readable, specially with capital "i" & "l" sort of things... (lastAddedItem vs. last_added_item).

I don't think there are any RFCs for this kind of convention...

I agree with Swop. I don't think there are any RFCs, and I would make the same choices.

A good read on the topic: https://blog.apigee.com/detail/restful_api_design_plural_nouns_and_concrete_names.
