    Naming ReST resources is mostly a matter of taste. Just keep them coherent. If you choose to name /categories to serve a list of category, choose /jewelries to serve a list of jewelry.

    I prefer using singular, /category for a list of category, /category/123 for one category. You can use singular or plural as long as every resource follow the same rule.
