'Is it a good practice on a REST api to check for unexpected parameters in the body?
I'm a junior developer working on my first job.
We encountered an error in our application because a teammate misused a endpoint we made, making a typo in an optional parameter in a POST body leading the backend to continue as if the optional parameter was not set.
I'm wondering what is usually the best approach to prevent these kinds of user errors, is it a bad practice to have endpoints checks that they only receive the request body data they expect with no extra fields?
