HTTP Methods

← Back to HTTP

Verbs that indicate the desired action on a resource. GET retrieves data (safe, idempotent). POST creates resources (not idempotent). PUT replaces a resource entirely (idempotent). PATCH partially updates. DELETE removes. OPTIONS queries supported methods (used in CORS preflight). HEAD is like GET but returns only headers.

Key Properties

• Safe and Idempotent Methods
• CRUD Mapping
• CORS Preflight
