Difference between GET and POST methods in HTTP

GET and POST are two common methods used in HTTP to send requests to a server:

  • GET: The GET method is used to request data from a specified resource. It appends data to the URL in the form of query parameters. GET requests are visible in the URL and can be bookmarked and cached.
  • POST: The POST method is used to send data to a server to create or update a resource. Data is sent in the request body. POST requests are not visible in the URL and are not cached by browsers.

It is important to use the appropriate method based on the purpose of your request to ensure data security and proper functionality of your web applications.
