POST

Use the POST HTTP method on a collection resource to create a new singular resource.

• Execute the POST request on the collection resource URL.
• Set the Content-Type header to application/vnd.oracle.adf.resourceitem+json.

In this example, a base64-encoded photo is added to the worker photos collection.
