Why does the Facebook API use POST for updating records?
问题 For example: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.1/page/locations Coming from a Rails/REST background, I was under the impression using PUT or PATCH for updates was best practice. So I'm wondering, why did Facebook just use POST for updates? Is it because it's just simpler to have POST and GET, rather than 4 or 5 different HTTP methods? Or is it because they're supporting some devices that only have those? Or are they planning to move to using PUT/PATCH? Any ideas? It
