使用Spring Boot批量创建API

Question

I'm trying to come up with the proper way to create an end point that gives the option to create a single object or a list of it. I'm using spring-boot framework. How do I offer both options with the same end point? and also is the proper way to do it with the same end point name?

Thanks!

@RequestMapping(value = "/persons", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void save(@RequestBody() final Person person)

or

@RequestMapping(value = "/persons", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void save(@RequestBody() final List<Person> persons)

Answer 1

You can treat the single object as a list with one element, and keep that handler method. That's a little challenging for the client though, but if they don't care, it's the simplest option. Otherwise, you can accept the request body as a string and try to figure out whether it's meant to be a single object or a list and act accordingly.
