Rest API - API Documentation

You see this snippet in endpoint documentation:

{"endpoint": "/products", "method": "GET", "parameters": [{"name": "category", "type": "string", "required": false}]}

What is wrong if the documentation omits the required field?

AThe endpoint will not work without it

BClients won't know if the parameter is mandatory

CThe HTTP method becomes invalid

DThe endpoint URL is incorrect

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the role of 'required' in parameters
This field tells clients if they must include the parameter or if it's optional.
Step 2: Consequence of omitting 'required'
Without it, clients may be unsure whether to send the parameter, causing confusion.
Final Answer:
Clients won't know if the parameter is mandatory -> Option B
Quick Check:
Missing 'required' = unclear parameter necessity [OK]

Quick Trick: Always specify if parameters are required or optional [OK]
