How to use SharePoint rest for CRUD operations?
The endpoints in the SharePoint REST service correspond to the types and members in the SharePoint client object models. By using HTTP requests, you can use these REST endpoints to perform typical CRUD ( Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations against SharePoint entities, such as lists and sites.
How to create and update SharePoint entities using rest?
You can create and update SharePoint entities by constructing RESTful HTTP requests to the appropriate endpoints, just as you do when you’re reading data. One key difference, however, is that you use a POST request.
Each SharePoint entity is exposed at an endpoint on the SharePoint site that you are targeting, and its metadata is represented in either XML or JSON format. You can make the HTTP requests in any language, including but not limited to JavaScript and C#.
Can a service endpoint support a merge request?
Any service endpoint that represents an object property set operation supports both PUT requests and MERGE requests. For MERGE requests, setting properties is optional; any properties that you do not explicitly set retain their current property. For PUT commands, however, any properties you do not explicitly set are set to their default properties.
