REST Patterns

No headers

REST can be applied to many circumstances, but as with most things, certain common patterns emerge over time. The following list of patterns helps promote design uniformity across projects and establishes a common terminology.

Pattern	Description
Behavior	The behavior pattern applies to resources that carry out operations. These resources have generally no state of their own and only support the POST operation.
Container	The container pattern builds on the entity pattern by providing the means to dynamically add and/or update nested resources.
Entity	The entity pattern applies to resources that can be read with a GET operation, but can only be changed by PUT and DELETE operations.

TODO:

Transaction
Container vs. Store (latter allows entries to be created & updated with PUT)
