What is returned after processing a batch request in the Batching REST resource?

When processing a batch request in the Batching REST resource, the response is structured as a JSON object containing an array of results. This design allows for a standardized and efficient way to handle multiple requests in a single call, which is particularly useful for applications that need to perform several operations without requiring individual responses for each one.

The JSON format is widely adopted in RESTful APIs due to its lightweight nature and ease of use with JavaScript and modern web technologies. Each element in the array of results corresponds to the outcome of the individual requests made within the batch. This structure not only provides clarity but also facilitates error handling, as each result can indicate success or failure along with relevant details.

Batch processing with JSON responses is particularly advantageous in scenarios requiring high efficiency and reduced latency, as it consolidates data retrieval and manipulation tasks into a single transaction while maintaining clear organization and interpretability of results. This approach aligns well with current best practices in API design, enhancing both performance and developer experience.
