POST array of objects to REST API

Question

I\'m designing REST API that should be able to accept array of objects, say

[
 {
   \'name\': \'Alice\',
   \'age\': 15
 },
 {
   \'name\': \'Bob\',
   \'age         


        

Answer 1

There is no need to wrap the array in another object with a data property. The array by itself is valid JSON:

post_params = JSON.stringify([ { 'name' : 'Alice', 'age' : 15 },
                               { 'name' : 'Bob',   'age' : 20 },
                                  ...
                             ]);
post(url, post_params);

Just make sure your API expects this array as well.
