Your REST API needs Filtering, Sorting and Pagination

Summary

Implementing a RESTful endpoint for resource collections requires robust support for filtering, sorting, and efficient paging to improve performance. Key considerations include specifying sorting columns, returning data in subsets (pages), and including metadata like total counts and page navigation links (HATEOAS). The practical takeaway is to design endpoints that are scalable, performant, and user-friendly by incorporating these advanced features.
