URI template component requirements
The variable and literal components of a URI template require specific formatting. Apply these requirements to URI templates when you define different service REST rules for distinct resource URIs.
The following requirements apply to URI template components:
- The first component in a URI template must be a literal component.
- Variable components must start with '{' and end with '}', and these characters cannot be nested.
- Variable components cannot be empty.
- A component cannot contain both literal and variable syntax, for example, api_{id}.
- Components cannot start with special characters except for '{', '}', and '/'.
- Components cannot contain reserved characters such as '?' or '#'.
- Regular expression syntax is not supported.
