    Best practices for designing Restful URIs 1. Forward slashes (/) indicate hierarchy 2. Use plural nouns for branches 3. Use Hyphens (-) for multiple words 4. Use lower case 5. Refrain from using file extensions

    Sorry to tell you but you do not understand what is the correct meaning of stateless and stateful and your example is really bad. I am not going to give you the answer if you are making a video about something and you do give bad examples and wrong answers you need to be shamed and take it more seriously because people would fail because of you
