I am working on a client and server application and came across an interesting problem. We are creating a restful API and communicating to the clients with JSON responses. When doing a DELETE, we are returning a 200 OK with a blank response. Our clients are getting the 200 OK, but failing on parsing the JSON.
We completely understand the failed parse (there is nothing to parse), but we had a bigger question. Is sending a blank response valid JSON, or should we be returning {} or something to that effect? Thanks.
