API design principles

The base URL is case insensitive. The paths are case sensitive. It's a good practice to NOT confuse anyone, including yourself, with that fact, by using lowercase paths.

However, whatsapersontodowhenapathbecomesreallyhardtoread? Use the de facto standard of kebab-case.

Let's see if that question from above is easier to read this time around: whats-a-person-to-do-when-a-path-becomes-really-hard-to-read? That's what we thought!
