1.1 seems to contain a breaking change - 'lid' now required for resource creation? about json-api

[jelhan]

The quote is about Resource Identifier Objects. Resource identifier objects were required to have type and id already in v1.0:

5.3 Resource Identifier Objects

[...]

A “resource identifier object” MUST contain type and id members.

A resource identifier object is not used for creating a resource. It is used to identify resources. It requires either id or lid in addition to type to identify a resource.

A resource object, which is used to create a resource, is allowed to have neither id nor lid member also in v1.1:

7.2 Resource Objects

[...]

7.2.1 Identification

As noted above, every resource object MUST contain a type member. Every resource object MUST also contain an id member, except when the resource object originates at the client and represents a new resource to be created on the server. If id is omitted due to this exception, a lid member MAY be included to uniquely identify the resource by type locally within the document. The value of the lid member MUST be identical for every representation of the resource in the document, including resource identifier objects.

My bad. Thanks for clarifying!
