What does it mean for an HTTP API to support pagination, and why is it important for large collections?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) It means responses are split into pages (using parameters like `page`/`limit` or cursors), letting clients fetch large collections incrementally instead of loading everything at once, reducing memory use and latency
B
Correct Answer
It means responses are split into pages (using parameters like `page`/`limit` or cursors), letting clients fetch large collections incrementally instead of loading everything at once, reducing memory use and latency
Explanation
Pagination (offset-based with page/limit, or cursor-based for large/changing datasets) lets an API return manageable chunks of data, which keeps response payloads small, reduces server load, and improves perceived performance for the client.
