How does the REST API take boolean values?

Question

A resource 123has a current configuration state and a default configuration state, and both of these configuration states can be represented by JSON.

A GETrequest http://example.com/123/configwill return the current configuration state, and a request GETto http://example.com/123/config?reset=truereturn the default configuration state.

How should the API interpret boolean values? For instance:

• http://example.com/123/config?reset=true
• http://example.com/123/config?reset=blablabla
• http://example.com/123/config?reset=false
• http://example.com/123/config?reset=1
• http://example.com/123/config?reset=0
• http://example.com/123/config?reset=
• http://example.com/123/config?reset
