title: RESTful - What should a DELETE response body contain
body: <p>Let's say I have an API where you can get users:</p>
  <pre><code>GET /RESTAPI/user/
  </code></pre>
  <p>And you can delete users by:</p>
  <pre><code>DELETE /RESTAPI/user/123
  </code></pre>
  <p>What is the <em>RESTful convention</em> on what the DELETE's response body should contain?
  I expected it should be the new list of all users which now doesn't contain the user with id 123 anymore.</p>
  <p>Googling around didn't get me any satisfying answers. I only found opinions on how to do that, <strong>but isn't there a strict definition of RESTful Services</strong>?</p>
  <p>This is NOT a duplicate of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7955469/what-should-a-restful-api-post-delete-return-in-the-body">What should a RESTful API POST/DELETE return in the body?</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4268707/what-rest-put-post-delete-calls-should-return-by-a-convention">What REST PUT/POST/DELETE calls should return by a convention?</a>
  since this questions asks for a strict definition regarding DELETE. Those questions were answered by loose opinions only.</p>
