title: POST a list of items using REST
body: <p>I'm looking for a convention on how to serialize my data when I have a (long) list of items that I want to POST to the server.</p>
  
  <p>For example, if I have a resource <code>/users</code> and I wanted to POST a new one to it, I'd http-encode the fields for the new user and put it in the request body like this: <code>name=foo&amp;age=20</code></p>
  
  <p>But if I have a list of users, like this <code>[{ name: 'foo', age: 20 }, { name: 'bar', age: 10 }]</code>, is there a conventional way of POSTing this?</p>
  
  <p>I'm thinking <code>name[0]=foo&amp;age[0]=20&amp;name[1]=bar&amp;age[1]=10</code> but I can't find anything to back it up. What do web servers usually accept/expect?</p>
