REST API Data Validation

Read Original

This technical article explains the importance of validating data in REST API requests and how to properly return error messages to clients. It distinguishes between data validation (e.g., checking data types and ranges) and business rules validation. The post also introduces the "Problem Details for HTTP APIs" standard as a recommended format for returning machine-readable error information in API responses.
