DELETE

The DELETE verb is used when we want to remove a resource, generally we would pass the ID of the resource as part of the path rather than in the body of the request. This way, we have a consistent method for updating, deleting, and retrieving a document.

Request:

DELETE /v1/cats/12343 HTTP/1.1 
Content-Type: application/json 
Content-Length: 0 

Response:

HTTP/1.1 204 No Body 
Content-Type: application/json 
Content-Length: 0
