"new" is used to display an HTML form for entering data for a new
resource. The reason it is included is because GET will return a list of
resources; having the "new" parameter will allow you to do a GET request
that gives you that form.
"edit" is similarly for display of a form for updating an existing
resource. In this case, you have an ID, so normally GET would give you
that resource; adding the "edit" parameter allows you to retrieve the
edit form.
Thank you Matthew.
As I use an MVC controller to retrieve the HTML form, I'll use the REST one with the "new" parameter
to get the resource initial state.
