title: REST delete multiple items in the batch
body: <p>I need to delete multiple items by id in the batch however HTTP DELETE does not support a body payload.</p>
  
  <p>Work around options:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1. @DELETE /path/abc?itemId=1&amp;itemId=2&amp;itemId=3 on the server side it will be parsed as List of ids and DELETE operation will be performed on each item.
  
  2. @POST /path/abc including JSON payload containing all ids. { ids: [1, 2, 3] }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How bad this is and which option is preferable? Any alternatives? </p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>: Please note that performance is a key here, it is not an option execute delete operation for each individual id.</p>
