The Folders API provides an organizational structure for SAS and external content. It can also be used for favorites folders or a history of objects accessed. The resources that are stored in folders (members) use a URI to point back to those resources. <H4><strong>Terminology:</strong></H4> <H4>folder</H4>
  <p> A virtual container for other folders, or any resource that can be represented
with a URI.</p> <H4>member</H4>
  <p> A resource contained in a folder. A member can itself be a folder, creating
a hierarchical structure for folders and subfolders. Members have two types: child and reference. A child member inherits authorizations from its container, and a given resource can be a child only in a single folder. Reference members do not inherit authorizations, and a resource can have many references in many different folders.

For APIs that support validation, the client can run operations (typically on resources in the `/commons/validation`) with `application/vnd.sas.validation+json` as the requested response type (via the `Accept:` request header). The service validates the request but does not execute the request, and returns this response to indicate whether the request was valid at the time it was made.
