Feedback

The submission demonstrates a solid understanding of the task requirements, with implementations for GET, POST, and DELETE endpoints in the MediaItemsController. The code correctly handles the retrieval, addition, and deletion of media items using the library and librarian objects. The use of ResponseEntity to handle HTTP responses is appropriate, and the code includes error handling for invalid inputs and unexpected exceptions. However, there are some deviations from the sample solution, such as the use of Optional and handling of exceptions, which could be improved for consistency and clarity. The technical implementation is mostly correct, with well-formatted and syntactically correct Java code. However, the use of wildcard in the ResponseEntity<?> for the POST method could be more specific to improve type safety. Overall, the submission meets most of the functional and technical requirements, but there are minor areas for improvement in consistency and type specificity.
