JSON API is a standardized specification for building APIs in JSON format. It aims to simplify and streamline the process of creating and consuming APIs by providing a clear and consistent structure for data exchange. JSON API is a core module to access Drupal’s data structures, i.e., entity types, bundles, fields, etc. It supports the ability to build decoupled applications or integrate Drupal with other systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit: \/admin\/config\/services\/jsonapi and check the “Accept all JSON:API create, read, update, and delete operations.” option to allow POST, PATCH, and DELETE operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding JSON API<\/b><\/h3>\n

Every resource in JSON:API must have a globally unique <\/span>type of<\/span> property. The Drupal JSON:API implementation derives this type property from the entity type machine name and bundle machine name. For example, articles, pages, and users are given the types of node<\/span>—<\/span>article, node<\/span>—<\/span>pages, and user<\/span>—<\/span>user, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Example of JSON:API URL structure<\/b><\/h3>\n

GET | POST: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \/jsonapi\/node\/article<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

PATCH | DELETE:\u00a0 \/jsonapi\/node\/article\/{uuid}<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

JSON: API accepts the following HTTP methods<\/strong><\/p>\n
