HTTP 201 Created vs 207 Multi-Status
Both HTTP 201 (Created) and 207 (Multi-Status) belong to the 2xx Success category. 201 indicates that the request succeeded and a new resource was created. Typically returned after POST or PUT requests that create a new entity. Meanwhile, 207 means that the response body contains status information for multiple resources, in situations where multiple status codes might be appropriate (WebDAV).
