Difference between GET and POST methods in Servlets

In servlets, both GET and POST are HTTP request methods used to submit form data to a server. However, there are important differences between the two:

GET Method:

• GET requests are used to request data from a specified resource.
• Parameters are passed in the URL's query string.
• GET requests are cached by the browser.
• GET requests can be bookmarked.

POST Method:

• POST requests are used to submit data to be processed by a specified resource.
• Parameters are passed in the request body.
• POST requests are not cached by the browser.
• POST requests are more secure for passing sensitive data.

When working with servlets, it is important to choose the appropriate method (GET or POST) based on the requirement of the application to ensure data is properly transmitted and handled by the server.
