Resource operations

The standard HTTP methods are used for performing create, retrieve, update, and delete operations on resources. The mapping of the HTTP methods to operational semantics is described in the following table:

Table 1. Resource operationsTable describing the mapping of the HTTP methods to operational semantics.

The query parameters are appended to the URI to appropriately filter the resource instances.

POST	Used to create a new instance of a resource or append to the existing resource reference.	POST <BASE_URI>/SessionService/Sessions Creates a new user session (Payload is not shown.)
PUT	Used to update a specific instance or create a specific resource instance with a specific identifier.	PUT <BASE_URI>/AccountService/Accounts('1414') Updates the user account details (Payload is not shown).
