Provides REST API design standards and best practices for Spring Boot projects. Use when creating or reviewing REST endpoints, DTOs, error handling, pagination, security headers, HATEOAS and architecture patterns.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Spring Boot REST API Standards

## Overview

REST API design standards for Spring Boot covering URL design, HTTP methods, status codes, DTOs, validation, error handling, pagination, and security headers.

## When to Use

- Creating REST endpoints and API routes
- Designing DTOs and API contracts
- Implementing error handling and validation
- Setting up pagination and filtering
- Configuring security headers and CORS
- Reviewing REST API architecture

## Instructions

### To Build RESTful API Endpoints

Follow these steps to create well-designed REST API endpoints:

1. **Design Resource-Based URLs**
   - Use plural nouns for resource names
   - Follow REST conventions: GET /users, POST /users, PUT /users/{id}
   - Avoid action-based URLs like /getUserList

2. **Implement Proper HTTP Methods**
   - GET: Retrieve resources (safe, idempotent)
   - POST: Create resources (not idempotent)
   - PUT: Replace entire resources (idempotent)
   - PATCH: Partial updates (not idempotent)
   - DELETE: Remove resources (idempotent)

3. **Use Appropriate Status Codes**
   - 200 OK: Successful GET/PUT/PATCH
   - 201 Created: Successful POST with Location header

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/spring-boot-rest-api-standards@sha256:a9c9a882667c49cb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.a02e282, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
