When creating a REST API are there any naming conventions for designating a read only property? -
i thinking useful if property name signaled readonly.
take object example:
{ "id":"12154", "name":"some name", "email":"email@something.com", "joindate":"05/04/2012" }
id , joindate of course properties readonly , not allow change through put/post request. there type of convention marking these such? thinking of doing underscores:
{ "_id":"12154", "name":"some name", "email":"email@something.com", "_joindate":"05/04/2012" }
there no naming convention read-only properties in rest. should, of course, feel free establish whatever conventions own api. fiver said in comment, should make sure documented, or conventions combination of (a) confusing, , (b) noise.
