Comparison of Connector Selector and Hanger Selector: Endpoint & Request Model Differences

A. Endpoints
B. Request Model
C. ENUM's

A. Endpoints

The Hanger Selector endpoint merges the Joist and Truss endpoints into a single endpoint. The request type is determined by the value of flushOption: TOP for Joist (Flush Top) or BOTTOM for Truss/Multi-Truss (Flush Bottom).

Type	Connector Selector Endpoint	Hanger Selector Endpoint
Joist (Flush Top)	POST - /api/Hangers	POST - /hanger-selector/hangers
Joist (Flush Top) - Get multiple	POST - /api/Hangers/GetMultiple	POST - /hanger-selector/get-multiple
Truss/Multi-Truss (Flush Bottom)	POST -/api/TrussHangers	POST - /hanger-selector/hangers
Truss/Multi-Truss (Flush Bottom) - Get multiple	POST -/api/TrussHangers/GetMultiple	POST - /hanger-selector/get-multiple
Reasons why specific models aren't returned		POST - /hanger-selector/why-not
